How do I convert MP4 file to AVI or MOV using MacBook Pro (2010)

I am 10.6.4 new user on a new MacBook Pro. This is my first Mac computer.
I want to convert a MP4 video file to AVI or MOV file type. How would I do this on my new Mac? Documentation says I have Quicktime X, but I cannot find Quicktime X on my system. When I try to load Quicktime 7 Pro, my system says I have Quicktime X and cannot load Pro. Apple websites say Pro version will allow me to convert the MP4 files. Anyone have any experience or ideas on what I should do? How do I find Quicktime X? Will it do the conversion for me? Thanks

Use MPEG Streamclip, or open the QuickTime Player from the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, installing this software if needed.

How do I convert music files so I can move this from laptop to iPhone?

I purchases some music from Buymusic.com that I have stored on my laptop in the Windows Media Player; the music files are .wpl - not sure what that means. When I attempt to move this music to my iPhone I get a message that indicates I have to convert the files. From iTunes I selected File, add file to library and I selected the artist from my play list. Am I doing this correctly or am I jacked up? This is where I'm told the files must be converted. I have over 200 songs I'm trying to move. Thanks,
PS - Not a technical person - all this computer stuff is new to me, so please give it to me in the simpliest form. Thanks.

Thanks a million for your suggestions, but I received the following message:
File name:
Betty Wright - 1 - Clean Up Woman (Single_LP Version).wma
Source folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Quint\My Documents\My Music\
Details:
Windows Audio Converter did not convert the file because the output file already existed, and the option to skip conversion if output file exists was selected.
This came up for all 200 songs.
Looking forward to any other suggestions you might have. You can also email me at [email protected]
Thanks again,

How do I transfer song files from an iBook to a macbook pro?

Hi, I have an iBook G4 with Garageband 2. Last week I got a new 15" Macbook Pro. I was wondering if someone could give me a step by step proceedure of how to transfer my songs from Garageband in the iBook to Garageband in the MacBook Pro. Any help would be appreciated.

if the machines are networked, either wired or wirelessly, just copy the song file to the other machine.
if they're not, probably the easiest way would be to ctrl-click the file in FInder and choose the Compress option, then upload that to a web site like YouSendIt to download on the other machine.
if the file's not too big you could also burn it to disc, or Compress the file as mentioned above and email it to yourself.

How can I open .wmv files in a browser on my MacBook Pro?

I know that a person that owns a Mac can open .wmv files in third-party programs such as Flip 4 Mac (Flip Player), but is it possible to open .wmv files in a browser?
Thanks,
Karen

You may open word processing documents using Apple's Pages. Numbers may open spreadsheets. Nothing appears to open databases, however.
If you have access to an older system that runs AW6, then you can export your documents to a compatible format for newer applications.

HT1863 How can I transfer a file of older images from my macbook pro to my new iPad.

Hi,
I'd like to take an album of photos on my Macbook Pro and transfer them to my Ipad using iphoto. I have iphoto on each device.

You can sync photos from your Mac's iTunes to the iPad's Photos app - once they are in Photos then the iPhoto app should see them as well. To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your Mac's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which iPhoto albums to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page.
You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad -photos synced from a computer can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

How do you convert a file from .mov to .avi in quicktime pro

I'm using a kodak Z50 digital camera that records video files as .mov files. I was told I could convert the files to .avi files using quicktime pro, but I can't figure out how to do it. Anyone know?

I am assuming you already are able to open the movie
in QT Player. Use Export in the File menu, choose
Movie to Avi in the drop-down Export Menu and then
click on Options to choose one of the pre-loaded avi
codecs for the compression. You may also want to
search for and install one of the newer codecs, such
as 3ivx or divx since the preinstalled codecs are all
rather old.

Thanks for the help. It worked, but the quality of the video is poor. Is there anything I can do about this?

I believe the proglem is with in Adobe CS5 and something just isnt working correctly and that maybe why it cant read or do anything with RAW files. I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.
See Camera Raw: How to use Adobe DNG Converter - YouTube

Converting mp4 files to mp3 files

could someone tell me how to convert mp4 files into mp3 files? thanks

Now this is clear.
You didn't have an .mp4 file or even a .m4a file. Yours is .m4p.
The "p" stands for protected.
The rules say you can burn your .m4p files to CD. The CD file will be in .aiff format.
Drag the .aiff file into iTunes and then "convert" (using the options in your preferences for bit rate and extension).

How can I import MP4-files in FCPX?

How can I import MP4-files in FCPX? Should i convert the files? Do you know good (free) software?
Thanks!

MPEG-4 isn't nearly enough information. There are many other factors that determine whether it will work in FCP. Many MPEG-4 files can be imported and optimized directly into the application.

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
Do cleanup.
Be well...

How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

Hi Plissey1950,
Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response. Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them). If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
Thanks,
David
