How can I play files that are possibly corrupt (play fine in other apps)?

I have these three mp3 files that I am trying to add to itunes so that I can add them to my ipod. They play fine on winamp and I've listened to the entire song on each track without any problems. Itunes will not let me add them to the library though. It doesn't give me an error message, it simply doesn't add them. I've cleared my entire library and tried adding only these 3, by drag and drop as well as the file browser, and I'm certain that they simply do not appear in the library. Is there any way to fix the corrupt part of these files, or have itunes just ignore it and try playing them anyway?

iTunes is very fussy about tags and sometimes will not play files other players accept.
There are vearious things you could try, but backup any files before experimenting on them.
You could try an MP3 repair tool:

MP3 Tag Studio also claims repair capabilities.

How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

Hello fellow apple fans,
I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them). Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

How can I recover file that are on my external hard drive but not showing up on mac?

I have copied pictures and home videos from an old hard drive to my newer, larger hard drive. And now, i can't see any of the videos when i open my Seagate 4TB BackUp Plus drive on my mac. Someone Plz save me!!!!!

Open Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities.
Check format for the Seagate.
I'm guessing you didn't format the drive for Mac.
You might need to reformat. This will erase all contents on the drive. After reformatting, go back to the old drive and copy over the files again.
Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID

How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?

Hi !
I'm using LR 5.7.1 on a Mac.
When I've retouched raw pictures with PS CC (and do not need the PSD file any longer) I export the PSD (that is in my catalog) as JPG and let it add to my catalog automatically. After that I delete the PSD file. That works fine.
But .... the new JPG file is not assigned to any collection. That's no problem unless I forget to do it manually after that export (and import).
That brings me to my question.
How can I find photos that are not assigned to any collection?
I tried it with a smart collection after I found nothing suitable in library filter. The search criteria I tried are Source -> Collection with any of the conditions. One with an empty value field, then with just a space and so on.
Has anybody a good hint for me?
Thomas

You can also add numbers if you have collections that don't use alphabet characters.

I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

Hello,
I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
Thanks!

I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

How can I import songs that are protected wma

how can I import songs that are protected wma?

Sorry, but you can't. iTunes can neither import nor play any protected Windows Media content. You'll have to ask the source of your tracks how to get them unprotected, if such a service is offered.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

Search any of the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch forums for "flash". You'll find a number of threads on the issue with suggestions for alternative app/service combinations that allow viewing of some Flash content.

Can't see files that are backedup

I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
Then +Enter Time Machine.+
On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?

How can I record with GarageBand 1.3 in the background using other app?
I use iPad 2 with iOS 6 and GarageBand v1.3.
I'd like to play an other app like Sunrizer synth while the GarageBand is recording in the background in a track.
By now I can do it only using the build-in mic of iPad, but this is not the point.
Can I record other apps in a GarageBand track?
Thanks a lot for your time.

I suspect you are probably correct about the reasoning, although there are already a myriad of ways to do that.
Don't get me wrong - I never said I like this. But it is consistent with other Apple applications, that are similar restrictive; you cannot take a screenshot, when dvd-player is running for example.
That are the moments, when I am glad that MacOS X is a unix system under the hood

How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.
