How can I tell iTunes to NOT convert certain files from wma format?
I just got an iPod classic, and downloaded iTunes and it automatically started adding all my music. I have almost 5000 songs that are in wma format, and it started converting them all. Then after it got almost 2000 songs finished, it just stopped. For no reason. So I tried to continue it, and apparently there is no way to just continue where it stopped. It started over at the beginning and is now re-converting all the files it already converted.
It took over 24 hours to convert those first 2000 files. It seems completely unnecessary that it should have to re-convert them all over again.
Is there any way that I can tell it NOT to convert those specific files? I figured that you should be able to right-click the file and say "DO NOT CONVERT" or something along those lines, but that is not an option.
The only other way I've been able to figure out that I could do this is to manually add only the files that it didn't convert last time. But that is over 3000 files, and they are not in the same order on my hard drive that they are on in iTunes so I would never be able to figure out what files were done and what files were not done.
There HAS to be a way to just highlight certain files and tell iTunes NOT to convert them. Hasn't there?
Someone please help me. This is really irritating, and I do not feel like waiting for another 3 days for this to finish. I have other things I need to do on my computer, and it seems that while iTunes is converting, it is making everything else very slow.
Thank you.
I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?
ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

How do I tell iTunes Match NOT to upload a song / audio file?
I produce music in Logic Pro and later play in iTunes for additional listening and testing. How do I tell iTunes Match NOT TO UPLOAD certain songs or audio files? I have to continously delete files from the cloud.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PCHi,
It's all or nothing with iTunes Match. If the track is a valid format it either matches or uploads.
Do you want to keep the tracks in itunes? If so, I suggest that you create a second blank library then turn on match. This will show all your tracks in the cloud. If a track uploads, you can delete it from the cloud using this new library. When you revert to your original library, the track will still be present but the iCloud status will now be "removed" instead of "uploaded". You can see iCloud status in song view by going to menu > view > view options and tick box. Match will now ignore this track when scanning your library.

Buying 2nd hand iPhone 3GS. How can I tell it's not a 3G?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but never had/used an iPhone before. Thinking about buying a second hand iPhone 3GS.
How can I tell if it's a 8gb, 16gb or 32gb and how can I tell it's not an iPhone 3G?
ThanksSpiface,
If you can get a look at the back of the phone, here are some things to look for:
Is the Writing on the back of the phone in Silver or in Grey?
If it is Silver, then it is a 3GS.
16GB and 32GB models have the storage capacity printed on their backs. The current 8GB model does not have any storage capacity printed on its back, although you can still identify it as a 3GS if it has silver print.
Hope this helps,

iTunes just launches by itself when I use the Apple Remote or volume buttons on headset/earbuds.

Had some wifi issues while downloading an album. First 3 tracks... sound stops way early but continues the count. How can I tell iTunes to redo the first 3? Any way to just fix it?
Hey davma1
All you need to delete the songs then go through the process of downloading the past purchase again.

How to make iTunes Match not convert my files ALACs in 256 kbps (VBR)? How to get iTunes convert CDs in Apple loselss? The difference between 256 (VBR) and Apple Losless is very clear...
Dear Michael, good day!
1. As per your instruction, I turned off iTM.
Small discrepancy – where are two screens with iTM switch:
-Settings > iTunes & App Store.
-Settings > Music
I switched OFF in both.
NB: I turned device to English for convenience.
2. My next step was Setting > General > Usage – tapped {Music};
{All music} screen appeared; I swiped it and taped Delete.
3. I performed “hard reset” …………………………………..
4. Switched back On iTM
5. Taped Music app on Home screen
iTM has started – (it took 18 minutes to completed, 60 mbps Wi-Fi speed )
Regret to inform… All the same:

How can I get the link not to override my style sheet formatting?
I have an html page with text that has a style sheet applied
to it. When I insert a link into parts of the formatted text, the
style sheet formatting is lost in the linked text (the text for
mylars, shapes and number shapes becomes smaller: see code below).

I am using Dreaweaver CS3 on a Mac running OSX

Also, having this in your three anchor tags -
style="text-decoration:none" -
will prevent your anchors from displaying any stylesheet
style for
text-decoration.

On Pages 09, my word documents I've been saving it to iCloud, to access anywhere, but I would like to keep my docs organized in files on my finder as usual, and saving to iCloud, I lose my local one.How can I fix it and not desorganize my files?
It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud. If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder. But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.

How can I force iTunes to skip uploading some files to iCloud?
I have a *lot* of college level courses from The Great Courses in iTunes. I have no need of having them in iCloud. How do I force iTunes to NOT upload these files? I only need my music in iCloud and not these lectures. Besides, The Great Courses has an iOS app that already lets me stream these if I choose. So there is no need for them to be uploaded into iCloud.
LindaThank you. Actually they are uploading. I had purchased the CD's. Each lecture is divided into 6 files on the CD's. I used "Join Together" and Quicktime and joined all of the tracks together for 1 file per lecture. Those don't exist, as I have them, in iCloud. So, iTunes is in fact uploading all of these files.
The link you provided was for hiding purchases. These were not purchased through Apple.
So, the question remains. Is there a way to prevent iTunes from uploading certain files into iCloud?
Thanks,

DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D.
DNG converter not converting RAW files from Canon 70D (it does not see them). I tried DNG converter version 8.2 and 8.4. No success. I use iMac. What is wrong?
hopefully, that's a typo on adobe's website because they list the canon 70d as using a .cs2 file extension, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
i don't see any other camera that uses a .cs2 extension and i don't see other people having problems, so that probably is a typo.
in any case, cr 8.2 or better is able to convert your camera's raw files. why you are having a problem i can't say, but double check that you are navigating to the correct folder by adding a file that will show up in your dng converter.
