How can I change the music format of my songs?

How can I change the format of songs in my computer so itunes will recognize them?
Music is recorded in my computer but itunes doesn´t seem to read it.

You know, its kind of weird. The songs where in a friends i-pod; that I uploaded into my computer using the instructions found in one of these forums. Then I downloaded the music into my i-pod and it was ok.
After a few months it occurred to me to consolidate my library. After consolidating my library; itunes can´t read about 7GB´s of music. I haven´t connected my ipod into my computer since then because I fear the music will be lost.
The music is stored in my computer, some of it I can listen with the windows media player. I just can´t get itunes to recognize it.
If I sync my ipod will I loose the 7GB of Music?

  • How can I change the music format from ACC to MP3 so I can transfer music to my GPS

    my music in iTunes is in ACC format I need to convert it to MP3's for my GPS device

    Set your import preferences to MP3 and then right-click the track and select Create MP3 version.  For more details see this document:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204310
    Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 and leaves the original AAC in place.  Make sure you are using the new MP3 for your GPS.

  • How can I change the date format in Reminders and in Notes?

    How can I change the date format in both Notes and Reminders? Preference on Imac and Settings in IOS do not allow me to change the format in those 2 apps.
    I Like to see 10oct rather than 10/10, as an example.

    I do not have Mavericks or iOS - but the first thing I would do is reset the defaults - I'll use Mavericks as an example
    From If the wrong date or time is displayed in some apps on your Mac - Apple Support
    OS X Yosemite and Mavericks
        Open System Preferences.
        From the View menu, choose Language & Region.
        Click the Advanced button.
        Click the Dates tab.
        Click the Restore Defaults button.
        Click the Times tab.
        Click the Restore Defaults button.
        Click OK.
        Quit the app where you were seeing incorrect dates or times displayed.
        Open the app again, and verify that the dates and times are now displayed correctly.
    Then customize to taste - OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
    OS X Mavericks: Customize formats to display dates, times, and more
    Change the language and formats used to display dates, times, numbers, and currencies in Finder windows, Mail, and other apps. For example, if the region for your Mac is set to United States, but the format language is set to French, then dates in Finder windows and email messages appear in French.
        Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Language & Region.
        Choose a geographic region from the Region pop-up menu, to use the region’s date, time, number, and currency formats.
        To customize the formats or change the language used to display them, click Advanced, then set options.
        In the General pane, you can choose the language to use for showing dates, times, and numbers, and set formats for numbers, currency, and measurements.
        In the Dates and Times panes, you can type in the Short, Medium, Long, and Full fields, and rearrange or delete elements. You can also drag new elements, such as Quarter or Milliseconds, into the fields.
        When you’re done customizing formats, click OK.
        The region name in Language & Region preferences now includes “Custom” to indicate you customized formats.
    To undo all of your changes for a region, choose the region again from the Region pop-up menu. To undo your changes only to advanced options, click Advanced, click the pane where you want to undo your changes, then click Restore Defaults.
    To change how time is shown in the menu bar, select the “Time format” checkbox in Language & Region preferences, or select the option in Date & Time preferences.
    Here's the result AppleScript i use to grab the " 'Short Date' ' + ' 'Short Time' "  to paste into download filenames - works good until I try to post it here - the colon " : " is a no-no but is fine in the Finder
    Looks like iOS Settings are a bit less robust

  • How can I change the date format?

    How can I change the default date format for all date fields in Oracle CRM OD? Currently it is set to the US format of MM/DD/YYYY.
    I would like to spell out the month, e.g. October 6, 2010, in order to avoid confusion between US and international date formats.
    For example 11/6/2010 means October 6, 2010 in US but it means 11 June 2010 internationally. Having a global team, this is causing problems for us.
    Georgi

    Georgi, the company profile has a Default Locale. Also each user can have their Locale. The US format of MM/DD/YYYY can not be changed to October 6, 2010 as an example.
    I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to CRM On Demand customer care.

  • How can I change the numeric format of the cursor coordinates display in LV 8.2

    Since LV 8.0 or so the cursor display window of a graph indicator seems to be a tree control. I couldn't find where to change the numeric format of the numbers displayed in that control. What did I miss?

    lecroy wrote:
    Maybe I'm not clear on what your looking for but I just use a property node and route the raw cursor data out to what ever function I want to run on it, then display it in a seperate field.  The nice thing with the property node is you can have multiple graphs linked together by one set of cursors all with different readouts. 
    Yes, of course that's an option and I guess I'll have to do it that way.
    The point is that I converted a pre-LV-8.x program to LV 8.5. In the program I had used the coordinates display field in the cursor legend to display the position, just the was the cursor legend is supposed to be used, IMO. And in pre-LV-8.x days it was possible to customize the numeric format property of the cursor legend (either directly or by property nodes). It seems that with LV 8.x NI chose to use a treeview control for the cursor legend. With that 'improvement' the numeric formatting flexibility was lost since now the conversion to the string content in the cursor legend's treeview is happening somewhere 'under the hood'.
    <rant> Why do they (NI) always try to 'improve' things (where nothing needs be improved) and sacrifice functionality on the way....? </rant>

  • How can I change the default formatting on the Content Placeholder?

    Captivate 7. I'm reworking a copy of an existing theme, and I've been able to change all the styles and defaults easily ... except fthat on the Content Placeholder object. I'm manually changing the Character and Format information for each one. I can't find a corresponding entry in the Object Style Manager. What am I missing? Thanks for the help!
    Mary

    Thanks, Rod. The replacement makes total sense to me. So maybe this is just an issue with working with the Master Slides themselves. While I've updated all the objects in the manager, seeing the hold "Hobo" font on the placeholder for "type your text here" was a bit disconcerting. But ...
    Today when I open the file and look at the master pages, the offending "Hobo" font has been replaced with my choice. Very bizarre.
    At any rate, thanks again for the help, Rod!

  • How can I change the date format in a Numbers table?

    I have selected all of the cells in a date column, opened the Inspector and selected the Date & Time format, selected the date & month format butb the cell date does not conform to this format.  Instead I am getting the month, day, year, and time.
    Stu

    Stu,
    In order for Numbers to format the date it must already be a valid date.  If you post a screenshot we can see that the dat is valid.
    Make sure after you enter the date that the date ends up being right justified AUTOMATICALLY.  If the date is NOT valid, Numbers interprets it simply as text which it leaves left justified

  • How can I change the file format in iTunes 11?

    It seems the Convert to .. function which was available when right clicking a song is no longer there.  How can you convert an AAC to MP3 for instance?

    Assegai Guy, 
    It is still there but it looks a little different in iTunes 11.  The "Create New Version" command is now in the File menu instead of the Advanced menu.

  • How can I change the date format to International (Europe, Asia, etc)?

    I am currently in Japan and would like to change my iPod's date format to an International format instead of the default American format. I have tried changing my mac's regional setting to Japan, UK, France and my iPod still displays the American date format. The interesting thing is that my mac correctly displays the date format in day-month-year format.
    I would be most grateful for any suggestions offered as I would like to get my iPod to correctly display the date. I had to manually set the iPod to the 24 hour clock. I am reasonably comfortable using the command line in a terminal.

  • How does one change the date format for PlayMemories Home folders?

    I am using PlayMemories Home Version 2.0.00.11271 and have many folders within it which contain only photographs imported from my Sony DSC-H9.  Unfortunately, PlayMemories Home insists upon dating all folders in a month/day/year manner; and this makes little sense if one wishes to have the folders listed in logical chronological order.  How can I change the date format to year/month/day?  Changing the name of each folder, one by one, will take a very long time!  Your helpful advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you. System information:
    Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Service pack : Service Pack 3
    Memory: 1.5 GB
    Processor:         Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
    Max. clock speed: 1.86
    Manufacturer: IBM
    Model: 1847W76
    System language setting: English (United States)
    User language setting: English (United States) 

    I too thought that the folder naming format was obviously wrong and couldn't find a way to change it. I do agree that placing photos in folders according to when they were taken is a great idea. I had been considering writing some software to do just that. After discovering that PlayMemories does it, I had it re-import all my photos. Then I wrote a small Perl script to rename all of the folders into year-month-day format. Included here is the Perl script. It only acts on a single folder - use it on the root folder where all the PlayMemories folders are. It will rename all folders currently in a month-day-year format. I used it without problems but of course there is no guarentee that it is error free. This should work with any common version of Perl. Tom # There should be one command line argument: the directory to act upon
    if ( scalar(@ARGV) == 0 ){
     print "Usage: RenameDirs <dir>\n";
     print " Where dir is the directory containing the directories to rename.\n";
     exit;
    $mydir = $ARGV[0];
    chdir $mydir or die "Couldn't chdir to $mydir: $!";
    opendir(ROOTPHOTODIR, ".") or die "Failed to open the pictures directory $mydir: $!";
    @allphotodirs = readdir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    closedir ROOTPHOTODIR;
    foreach $dir (@allphotodirs) {
     if ( -d $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a directory";
      if ( $dir =~ /^(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{4})$/ ) {
       print " and has the proper format: month $1 day $2 year $3 and will be renamed to ";
       $newname = sprintf "%4u-%02u-%02u", $3, $1, $2;
       print "$newname\n";
       rename $dir, $newname or die "failed to rename $dir to $newname: $!";
      else {
       print " but is not of the proper format\n"
     elsif ( -f $dir ) {
      print "$dir is a file\n";
     else {
      print "$dir is neither a directory nor a file\n";
    }

  • How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

    Dr. P,
    Song files are just files.  You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
    If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
