How can I play my Audible .aax files on my 120GB IPod Classic?

Hi all,
I have an IPod classic which can store 120GB of data and I think it is sixth generation, but am not too sure. I've downloaded some audio books from Audible in .aax format and want to copy them onto my IPod but I can't seem to be able to get them to sync in ITunes. Does anyone know what the issue is?
Thanks,
Sachin

Have you imported the audiobooks into your iTunes library? (Yes, I know that may be an obvious thing - but I simply want to make sure.)
If you have them in your library and you have perfomed a Sync, have you tried using the Search facility on your iPod to see if they are on it, but simply not where you expect them to be? (I don't have any audiobooks, but Podcasts and movies sometimes end up in a different section to the one I expect.)
If you find it, but not where you expect it to be, condier the following. To be an Audiobook, the file must be listed as Audiobook in iTunes. So it's not enough for it to be downloaded as an audiobook. Once you find the file in iTunes, look at File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind. If the Media Kind is not Audiobook, thta's why it's not in Audiobooks on the iPod. Change the Media Kind in iTunes and then Sync the iPod to iTunes. That should sort it out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

TS4124 Hi, do you know how can I upload inelegible songs from itunes to Icloud. They are songs added from original CDs. Another question would be how can I transfer all the music I have in my Ipod Classic to my Itunes or ICloud as I want to back it up.

Depends on why it's ineligible. If it's under 96 Kpbs, try right-clicking on the file and choosing Create AAC Version. (If you don't see this option, go to iTunes>Preferences, click "Import Settings..." then choose "Import Using: AAC Encoder" and "Setting: iTunes Plus".) Then rescan your library to see if this version will add to iTunes Match. Or, after changing your import setting, just re-import the song to your iTunes library.
If the song is over 200 MB you would have to reduce it's size to make it eligible.

HT1320 how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?

how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?

It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption. You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem. But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive.

See also Repair iTunes Security Permissions and apply the suggested steps to the iTunes folder and the source media folder.
I may be reading too much into things, but is your media stored in a bunch of folders where each folder represents a playlist? If so my script ImportFolderStructure might be useful to you...

How can I play an mpeg-2 file from my handycam on quicktime?

When I try to play an mpeg-2 file from my handycam I receive an error message stating that a required codec is not available. How can I get this codec and is it a free download? Neither audio or video will play.

Thanks for your input. To clarify a couple of things, I'm ultimately looking at editing my video from the handycam, hopefully with imovie. In exploring how to do this I came across mpeg streamclip video converter for osx but then discovered that in order to install it with Lion, I'd need to download a mpeg-2 playback component. From what I understand, this component is inherent in QT 10.1 with Lion and therefor you can't brink up a 'disk image' in order to install the video converter. Sounds like I'd need to buy that.
As previously mentioned, there are three forms of QT support for MPEG-2 content:
1) The QT MPEG-2 Playback Component ($19.99) is required for use by QT 7 based applications (QT 7 Player, GarageBand, as well as, QT 7 based third-party applications like MPEG Streamclips. This component is not used required for nor used by the QT 10.1 Player or iMovie '07/'08/'11 apps.
2) The Importer Component installed as part of your video editing software package. As previously indicated, this package handles the importation of content from various camcorders employing many different compression formats. It's primary purpose is to make the imported content "edit" compatible with the video editing software. In the case of "muxed" GOP MPEG-2/AC3 content, it decompresses/turns the P- and B-frames into I-frames which essentially makes the video QT editit compatible at the frame level without actually converting the video to a different compression format. This is a moderately fast operation which does not degrade the video quality. In addition, the importer component also converts the AC3 audio to QT "edit" compatible AIFF (Linear PCM) content and places both the video and audio content in an MOV file container. Since "muxed" GOP MPEG-2 content essentially synchronizes the audio and video content spatially, the last step in the import process is to add a time offset to minimize audio/video drift in the MOV file which synchronizes the multiple data tracks temporally with respect to an external timing reference. The result of this operation is QT edit compatible content in an MOV file container that is playback on any system having iMovie '07/'08/'11 installed. That is why I always recommend using this work flow for content still located on the camcorder.
3) The QT 10.1 MPEG-2/AC3 GOP support appears to be built into the app or only accessible using the app and not available for use by either QT 7 or iMovie applications. This content is not QT edit compatible at the frame level (i.e., the manner in which all Apple video editors work).
4) In the case where the "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 content has already been removed from the camcoder and you can no longer "import" the content as per option 2 above, purchase of the QT MPEG-2 Playback component and use of the MPEG Streamclip app provides, in my opinion, the greatest degree of secondary functionality. In this case you have the option of demultiplexing the original content to M2V and AC3 content or paired M2V and AIFF elementary stream files or conversion of the content to any QT editit compatible audio and video compression combination including "Pro" editing codecs if FCP is installed on your system.
5) With regard to the installation of the QT MPEG-2 Playback component, you have three options:
a) You can install the component on a pre-Lion system and then copy it to your Lion system.
b) You can download the MPEG Streamclip "beta" package and us the "helper" software to install the component directly on the Lion operating system.
c) You can us an app like Pacifist to extract/install the component directly to the Lion OS platform.
In any event, remember that this component is not supported by the QT 10.1 app nor is AC3 natively supported by the QT 7 app and so you will have to use the MPEG Streamclip app to both make use of this component and provide app support of the AC3 audio which can then be "bridged" for use by QT 7 based apps.
All this being said, when I decided for the first time to just open my video in QT 10.1 (which is a .mpg file) it wouldn't open and the error said that a required codec wasn't available. The file is .mpg and info states it is a mpeg-2 video, AC3. I have VLC installed and can view the video with that, but am just frustrated as to why QT 10.1 won't play it (as I believe it should, since the file is a .mpg).
As I have repeatedly stated, I consider QT 10.1 "a work in progress" and have given up trying to guess why it works in some cases and not in others. In some cases, files sent to me having the problem you describe suddenly became playable in QT 10.1 after using VLC to copy the data from the original file container to a new program stream file container (i.e., not conversion was applied—just the copy of the original data). You can try this for playback purposes but it will do nothing for your editing work flow unless you plan to us QT 10.1 to convert the content to H.264/AAC for editing in which case HandBrake or MPEG Streamclip (with QT MPEG-2 Playback component) would probabaly work on the original file. (I.e., I prefer using a low-compression, high data rate compression format at highest video quality setting as an "intermediate" editing format to preserve as much of the original quality as possible.)
One thing I also noticed, there is no QT file in my library (I didn't move, delete or change anything, just looked to see if I could find the file as mentioned on another forum, but it wasn't there). Not sure if this has a connection as to whether the .mpg file can be played with QT 10.1 or not.
If you are referring to an MOV file created by importing the content directly from the camcorder, then it will be located in your iMovie "Event" folder, the location of which will depend on which drive you assigned it to. Such a file sould already be both playback and editable in QT applications.
Any other input would be much appreciated. Am I missing something from my QT 10.1 that should have been installed?
I believe that covers just about everything. Since QT 10.1 is the original version installed by the Lion OS installer, there have not been any updates to it and, unless you have been messing around deleting things in your QT component folders, there is little probability that anything has been deleted, removed, or misplaced during normal system use. What I normally recommed is that you keep QT 10.1 installed and install the Lion compatible version of QT 7 (v7.6.6 if not already installed) to maximize your QT playback capabilities between the two. In fact, I tend to use the QT 7 "Pro" player for most daily "quickie" edits and still consider it the more useful of the two utility-Players.

How can I play windows media aduio files?Need help...

Oh ,I bought a N70 in China.It is not all the same as the product which sold in Euro.It doesn't have the anterior camera .And my N70 can't play the windows media aduio files from my classical music CDs,I tried several software but all failed.What's the matter?
Thanks for replay!
Good luck to ereryone !

WMAPlus! says it plays Windows Media Audio on phones like the N70 (based on S60 2nd Ed.):
http://my-symbian.com/s60/software/applications.php?fldAuto=1427&faq=2
I believe it does not handle DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected WMA files, though.
Also, there's no S60 3rd Edition version (but then there are S60 3rd Edition based models with WMA support built-in, such as the N91).

How can I delete all songs and data from my 80GB ipod classic without opening itunes?

I have an older 80GB ipod classic that works but will not play any songs. I'm trying to delete all songs and data from the hard drive to see if that will fix the problem, however, it will not appear in my itunes. I've tried various ways to help it appear in my itunes but I do not want to delete my itunes because I have another ipod that has all those songs on it.
I was wondering if there was a way to restore my ipod back to the beginning without having to go through itunes. Thanks!

It might, but I wouldn't bet much on it. Either way, give it a shot.
Otherwise, if appears in Windows an external hard disk, try a low level reformat of the device's hard drive. See here for instructions on how to do this.

I receive my corporate voicemail in email but the file comes in a windows media format. Is there a plug-in or other method to play these files on my 3g iPhone?

You can't do this with the iPhone as it will not play WMA files.
There does not appear to be an Application available to allow this either at the moment.

How can I play music and video files in Solaris 10?

Hi all. I just downloaded Solaris 10 and installed it. I haven't used it for a long time (since version 8), and as I can see now, there are many improvements. I just loved Java Desktop! :)
Can someone please tell me what libs or codecs etc, do I have to download and install in order to play music and videos (mp3, wmv, dvd etc), and where I can find them?
I use the on-boaad sound system (Realtek AC97)
Thank you all.

You didn't mention if the sound drivers are working. If not, download and install the driver from here and reboot (it supports your codec):

For players, see my FAQ:

DVDs are more of a problem because of DCIMA. Look around.
