How can I import my library as mp3 or AAC 256
Under iTunes 10.7 you use to be able to import your Music (Hard drive iTunes Music Library) into iTunes as a different format. Useful when space was limited with MBP or you needed to create a new library of MP3 for your car or another type portable that only takes mp3.
I was trying to do this will 11.4 but it only has "Add to Library" and the import settings are only for importing from a CD.
I am trying to import my lossless iTunes music folder into itunes on my MBP and take up less space but maintain folder hierarchy
I don't want to try and convert each album individually (233 gb of music that I imported from CDs)
Is there a way now to do this or a very very good batch program that will do it
Thanks for any help.
Loss of functionality ie sidebar (why I am not on 12), loss of import functions Apple seems to be dumbing down itunes
You are given the chance to specify import format as part of ripping a CD. For files that already exist on the computer they simply get added to iTunes and you then convert them to a second format as needed.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 - including information about different formats and discussion about compression. For iTunes 11.
In iTunes11: File > Create New Version
In iTunes11 "Create..." is in the File menu, not the Advanced menu. Prior to iTunes11 use iTunes menu > Advanced
I have the feeling you are not going about things correctly. Why is there the sudden need to convert 233 GB of files which have already been ripped, unless you ripped them originally as AIFF and want to save in a smaller format?
If you want to convert without using iTunes check XLD or Max audio converters.

How can use the WSDP library of inside Java SDK? I want to use the javax.servlet class but it is not available in SDK, however it is available in WSDP .How can I import them into Java1.4.1 Applications ?
2nd:I have already set JAVA_HOME & ANT_HOME as permenant Environment Variables .the ant build command gives me a message that the setenv.bat is not recognized .
The problem is that setenv.batch is in another directory of the ANT_HOME's and I don't know what variable I should use to point to it.What classes in particular are you wanting to use? If they're sitting there as jars on your box -- add them to your classpath when you compile/execute and all should be well.
Some of these classes will most likely have dependencies upon classes associated with the J2EE platform (considering that a good deal of them are fashioned to execute inside of some form of servlet container) -- so, it's a wise idea to go ahead and grab the J2EE SDK as well.
And, people do care, they just don't care for someone that nags. -
How can I import my library to a new computer?
Hi:
I just bought a new computer, and I'm trying to import my library from my old computer to the new one. I've transferred my 'My Music' folder (along with the iTunes folder inside it) onto the new computer using an external hard-drive, and I've reinstalled iTunes, but when I import the XML file (which I manually backed up from my old computer), I only get 400 songs of my 6,000 (I think these are the songs from 'My Music / iTunes').
I've tried clearing my library and just adding 'My Music' folder, and although this gets all my songs into the library, it puts the full file name under song name (my files don't have any tags on them), and it leaves the artist field blank. Basically, I'd have to go through all my songs and re-do the sorting fields.
I think the problem is that on my old computer, the pathway to 'My Music' was different from the pathway to 'My Music' on my new computer. Does anyone know how I can get my library to look exactly the same as it did on my old computer? As I've said, I have all the files in place, and I have the XML file ready to go. I think I just need to figure out how to get iTunes to find the songs in 'My Music'.
Thanks!
JIt's a brand new computer, so there wasn't an iTunes folder in the music folder. I just copied it there from my external hard-drive. I think the problem is that on my old computer the pathway to my songs was: C/documents and settings/Ken/my documents/my music, and on my new computer the pathway is C/documents and settings/dell 720/my documents/my music. I have the songs in the right folder, and I have the iTunes folder inside the folder as well, but iTunes is only finding the iTunes folder ... it isn't finding the songs in the 'My Music' folder. I don't know what to do about this. If I clear my library and start from scratch using 'add folder to library', I'll have to re-enter all my info fields, which isn't a pleasant thought.

Consolidate Library command doesn't work--how can I import my library?
I've transferred my music from a back-up disk and want to import it into iTunes on my new machine, but the Consolidate Library command does nothing. Import Folder only works one folder at a time and I have hundreds of folders (40+gb of music). Anybody have any ideas how I can import it all into iTunes without having to spend a weekend tediously importing one folder at a time? Thanks in advance!
Consolidate only works on music already in your library.
What it does is to copy any music in the library database but not in the iTunes Music folder into the iTunes Music folder.
It cannot be used to add music to your library.
File>>Add folder to library ought to be able to add a music folder containing multiple folders in one go. -
I need to restore my computer to it's factory settings but I don't want to loose my playlists and my library (windows). I can copy any file from the computer because it's in good working order. All my music it's on a external hard drive, but there's lots of media files that I don't want to sync but need to keep! Any way to do that!?

I think that I didn't explain my self correctly, My iTunes media it's not consolidated. May I consolidate the media on a external drive (X:\). ?
Yes. But consolidate to X:\iTunes\iTunes Media.
The why I'm asking is because the music library (176gb) is way more than the computer drive (C:\). Remember that all the media is on a external hard drive (J:\)
The steps I gave earlier will work to copy the whole library onto the new drive, in the correct layout for future ease of use.

How can I import old library to new iPhoto on new Mac
I bought a new macbook pro and need to move my library over but already have some pics in the new library. What is the best way to add the old 20GB library to my new iPhoto?
To migrate a Library:
Link the two Macs together even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
However you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
The only way to merge the two libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
If you've not done much with the photos already on the new machine then simply export them from that iPhoto, copy the main library over and then import them to that library -
How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie?
How can I import an m4v movie from my desktop to my event Library in iMovie? I want to include the m4v movie into another project in iMovie.
When you import DV Stream from tape, iMovie 11 will assume that you are importing raw footage from a camera, rather than a finished movie. It will create a new clip everytime it detects a scene break (the record start/stop button was pressed). These clips will be placed in chronolgical order - not the order they were on the tape.
One way around this is to import the tape into the application that you used to create it. For example, if you used iMovie 6, import the tape back into imovie 6. In iMovie 6, you can export the tape back out using FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME. Choose the DV codec in an MOV container. You can then import this MOV file into iMovie 11 and have everything in the proper order for your finished movie.
Another option is to use FInal Cut Pro X. -
: how can I import mp3s from my gmail account into my iTunes application so that I can import audio for recording into GarageBand ?
Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"?
how can i import an mp3 to a Notification Ringtone under the "Sound Settings"? (i can do it to "Phone Ringtones" easy, but not Notifactions)
This might work as well and will allow drag and drop of mp3 files. This is written as if the phone is connected to the computer.
In the sd card, check if there is a folder called media. In the media folder verify or create a folder called audio. Within the audio folder create the following folders: alarms, notifications, and ringtones. These should be typed exactly as written. Copy or move the files into the folder you want them in. Disconnect the phone from the computer and let the remount the sd card. Now go into your notification or ringtones list. The files you put into the individual folders should automatically be there.
I know that this works on the Eris and I got the method back when only the eris and droid 1 was available. I just can't remember exactly where I got it. Hopefully it also works for the Droid 1.

I was working in iMovie and discovered how to take a still photo of a movie clip. Now I can't find that still photo! Where did it go, and how can I import it to my iPhoto library?
Just found out and it is simple. When you find a frame in your video/movie of which you want a still photo or screen shot, just go to the frame and click on command, shift and the #3 in quick succession. You will hear a "click" like a camera taking a photo. The screen shot will then go to your desktop where you can drag it to iPhoto or an e-mail, or anywhere you like. Also you can rename the screen shot by double clicking on the wording under the screen shot on your desk top. Whew!

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?
How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired. -
My HDD crashed and I had to reinstall my boot and programmes on a new HDD. I managed to recover my library.itl. How can i import it with the new version of itunes? When i try imprt playlist, it replies that it is not a validly exported file.
It should be like the very first time you synced your phone with I-Tunes. It will notice you haven't synced before and just copy everything from your phone into I-Tunes. It shouldn't delete anything from the phone, at least it never has for me. It just puts a copy of everything into I-Tunes and even if you delete an app for example from your phone and you decide you want it back later, you can just go back into I-Tunes and copy it back over. Hope this helps.
