(HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod

How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . . for an iPod
We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. . or can they help us? PL E A SE E E HELLPPP!

tt2,
Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
<?wpl version="1.0"?>

            <media src="..\Various Artists\Mixed Tape 1\12 One Step Closer.wma" tid="{EE5ADD9D-A879-404A-BC60-CE841045BCB6}"/>

Now I went and switched the part from <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

How can i get windows media player playlists on my ipod nano

I have all the songs I'll ever need for my ipod but do I really have to burn all my songs onto a disk and then transfer that to itunes then to my ipod? There has got to be some kind of way that can help me transfer my playlists on windows media player to itunes. Can anyone help me?

Why would you need to burn all your songs to CD? iTunes will import your MP3 files (and non-protected WMA). Playlists cannot, but can always be recreated.

On a Mac Platform, how can I run Windows Media Player, v.9 or above?

There's a program I want to buy that I need have Windows program to run it: "My videos use Windows Media Player version 9 or above. If your current operating system can not support that version, you will not be able to view the videos." I have a PowerPC G3 iMac DV "400". I've heard that there's a program that Macs can run to enable me to use Windows software. Is that the way to go? THANKS for any/all INFO.!!—Leslie:)
PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.0.x
PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.0.x I'm in-process of installing OSX Tiger

If you're using OS 9, you really can't as the latest version of WMP for Mac on OS 9 is verson 7.
You'd have to upgrade to OS X for you to be able to use WMP 9.

How can I access Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin?

Microsoft Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin (in Firefox) is installed on my computer, but it is available to only a few applications. All the applications have a "Use other" application, but I cannot find the above mentioned plugin. Where do I "browse" to actually find it so I can use it with a particular application?

The information you referred me to allowed me to figure out what the name of the plugin file is that I am looking for. However, when I navigated to that file to enter it as the new plugin to use, the only thing that appeared was "No items match your search". Am I correct in assuming that this means that this plugin will not work for the application in question?
If that is true, is there a way to "force" it to use this plugin, just as a test to see if my hunch is correct?

Can I use Windows Media Player with my Mac?

    I am scheduled to have an interview via WEBEX and need to make sure that all the components of the Universal Communications Format are up and running. When I did a diagnosis check on my MacBook Pro, the Windows Media Player 9.0 or newer said I needed a plug in to run. Where can I find this plug in?
   Thank you!!
   Michelle Schaal

Michelle,
You can download media components for QuickTime which will enable you to play WMA files through QuickTime on your Mac:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/windows-media-components-quicktime
Alternatively, Get the free VLC player for Mac, which will play almost all media types:
http://vlc-media-player.en.softonic.com/mac
If the interview requires Windows Media Player to be running to conduct the interview, then I fear you may be stuck, there is not a version of Windows Media Player for Mac - It is for Windows. Your options in this case would be to borrow a Windows PC or install a valid copy of Windows on your MacBook under BootCamp.

How can I remove a Input device from my Mac?

Hello, I would like to know how I can remove a input device from the Sound area in System Preferences. I installed Wiretap Anywhere a sound input program for my Mac and did not realize It was not supported for Moutain Lion. I put the application in the trash and then emptied the trash can. Now whenever I try to start GarageBand or a program like that it crashes my computer. In the Input tab of Sound (System Preferences) It is listed as Wiretap: System Audio.
I would like to remove this from the Input tab so I can use my Mac reguarly. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Justin

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

How can i remove samsungs "SPanel" definitely from my mac?

Hello!
My macbook pro has a "virus" called "SPanel". It needs almost 100% of the cpu time and shortens my battery-runtime drastically.
Who can help me to get rid of this samsung-virus?

From a Google search:
If you re-run the installer package and choose "uninstall" from the drop down menu instead of "easy install" you should be able to uninstall the files. However, the SPanel folder will remain in your root Library folder. You can keep it or trash it.
Try it and see...

How do I remove Quick Time 7 from my mac?

How about that QT that comes with Snow Leopard, is there a real need for two versions of the software to be installed?
QT is a "structure" integrated into the operating system. Removing it will likely corrupt the whole OS. As to Snow Leopard, there is only one QT "structure" embedded in the system. What you really have is two different player versions (QT X and QT 7) which actually access the same embedded routines. Removing the QT 7 Player would likely not cause any problems, but why bother. Simply leave it in your Utilities folder in case you ever want to use it or upgrade it to QT 7 Pro to access the extra features not accessible via any other Apple multimedia application/utility. You don't ever have to use it if you don't want to do so.
