How can I make an AAC version of a song?

How can I make an AAC version of a song? All I see is "Create an MP3 Version". I do not want to pay for a shorter version of a song that I already have! Why is APPLE doing this to us?!?!?! GREED, that's why!! #venting

Right-click on the tune and select "Create AAC version..." from the pop-up menu. Quicktime can also convert MP3 to AAC.
Ringtones need to be AAC (MPEG4 audio, aka .M4A) audio of less than 30 seconds in length. Once converted, find the file and change the suffix of the file name from .M4A to .M4R and drag the file into iTunes and it will be recognized as a ringtone.
There are a couple of applications that do this for Windows, and OS X provides a mechanism to do this with several tools and even provides means for batch conversion and automation of the process.

I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago. How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3. I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself. The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod). I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs). Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync? Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC. However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I make the newest version of iTunes for Windows run faster?

I know I'm not the only one when I say that iTunes is by far one of the slowest programs on my computer. I'm running Windows 7 and running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows. Does anyone have some tips to make it run faster and smoother? I have Genius and Ping disabled, but I'm not quite sure what else I can do.

The newest version of iTunes should install if you are runnig 10.7.
Do you get any error messages?

How can I make a generic version of this function

Hi,
I have a lot of functions that follow the same general format:
public static List<ProductRecord> listProducts(int category, Connection con)
throws SQLException
     // prepare a statement
     PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement(SQL_LIST /* sql to list product records */);
     try
          // set some parameters
          stmt.setInt(1, category);
          // execute the query
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
          // create a vector for storing the result
          Vector<ProductRecord> list = new Vector<ProductRecord>();
          // append all records to the list
          while (rs.next()) {
               list.add(new ProductRecord(rs));
          // return the list
          return list;
     finally
          stmt.close();
}Is there a way I can streamline this using generic functions?
It would be great if I could write a generic function that could simplify each function to something like:
public static List<ProductRecord> listProducts(int category, Connection con)
throws SQLException
     return someSpecialFunction<ProductRecord>(SQL_LIST, con, category /* would use a argument list here... */);
public static <T extends DatabaseRecord> T someSpecialFunction(String sql, Connection con, Object ... params)
     // prepare a statement
     PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
     try
          // set some parameters
          for (int i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
               stmt.setObject(i+1, params);
          // execute the query
          ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();
          // create a vector for storing the result
          Vector<T> list = new Vector<T>();
          // append all records to the list
          while (rs.next()) {
               list.add(new T(rs)); /* dont know how I could achieve this */
          // return the list
          return list;
     finally
          stmt.close();
I dont seem to understand generics engough to be able to complete the function.
Any ideas or suggestions on how I could achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

You'll need to pass T.class as well, because you can't do "new T(rs)" but you can do "Tclass.asSubclass(Tclass).getConstructor(ResultSet.class).newInstance (rs)" (I've not tested my code)
public static <T extends DatabaseRecord> T someSpecialFunction(String sql, Connection con, Class<? extends T> Tclass, Object ... params) {
      list.add (Tclass.asSubclass (Tclass). getConstructor(ResultSet.class).newInstance (rs));
}

I pre ordered an album. One of the songs was released early but it won't download. It says purchased by it. How can I make it download without buying the song or the album again?

I pre ordered midnight memories (a one direction album) a couple months ago. One of the songs was released early and was available to be downloaded. Because I had already purchased the album I figured that the song would automatically download but it isn't downloading. It says that it is purchased. Please explain how I can get the song to download without having to purchase the song or the album again.

Add a calendar entry with an alert to your shared calendar. I'm assuming it is shared via iCloud, MS Exchange or Google, so it will update in near real time and not have to wait for a sync.

Have you quit and re-launched iTunes? Does the menu item become active then? Or are you trying to convert a protected file, which isn't possible. You can tell if the file is protected by doing a Get Info. If Kind says "protected AAC audio file" the file can not be converted in-place. It must first be burned to Audio CD which you can then import into iTunes as an MP3.

How can I make the annotation box show in the printed word version on the pages app?

I want to insert annotation box on the side of the text. But I found that i cannot do that, and the annotation box disappear on the printed version of my document. How can I make that appear on my printed verison? Thank you!

You are referring to Comments and Apple has removed the old method from Pages 5.
If it is important to you go back to using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

My bookmark seperators in a newer version of Firefox are too light. I seem to remember in older versions they were much darker. How can I make them dark again. Now I can hardly see the seperator.

How can I make the bookmark separators dark? They are very light and I can hardly see them. I seem to remember that in older versions of FireFox they were much darker and easier to see.

On an older 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 mac, and on a
newer iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
both running OSX10.5.8, and using the default FF 3.6.6 theme.
The separator lines are so faint as to be not there, giving the impression of just a big gap in the menu being displayed.

Try setting the text direction with no files open. It should stick for all new files.

How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild?

How can I make Adobe Captivate 7 App Packager use 3.3.0 version of PhoneBuild rather than the 2.5.0 version? I tried following the instructions to upgrade PhoneBuild to version 3.3.0 - seemed to work, but Captivate is still outputting using 2.5.

I tried that recently but could not find a way out.
However, I figured out that we can upload the HTML5 zip file directly to the PhoneGap and build the app. This not only makes it a 3.3.0 version by default, it will also allow you to change the default app name, description, and most importantly the icon of the app.

How can I make a still photo from imovie

How can I make a still photo from imovie?

Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

How can I make my Mac Book Pro print to a Panasonic KX-MB772?

How can I make my Mac Book Pro OSX 6.8 talk to a Panasonic KX-MB772 printer?

You can't. The KX-MB722 is one of the few remaining printers in the class of devices called "Windows Printers" that has no on-board printing software -- it relies on a host computer to provide all of the software functionality and Panasonic only provides such software for certain versions of Microsoft Windows. In this case, it means a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows (2000-XP, though it will probably reliably on Windows versions up to 7). Note that these devices are not guaranteed compatible with future versions of Windows either (Panasonic has already dropped software support for this model).
I'm pretty sure that the device doesn't support remote printing without the software either (e.g., you can't setup a computer with Windows on it, share the printer, and then print to the shared printer without their software).
