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,
QueBee

I want to send a normal pages document as a attachment to someone (non Mac PC). How do I convert the file so they can open it? Silly question but I'm new to Mac.

A Pages (.pages) document is only viewable with Apple's Pages application on the Mac, or via Pages for iCloud beta. You should export it to either MS Word (.doc/x) or PDF. The Share menu will let you do this directly into a Mail attachment.

Hi williamf,
For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
Best,
Sara

How do I Convert Music Files to .Was or AIFF?

I want to burn a CD that will play on an regular CD player. How can I convert the file format of songs in my iTunes to a format that will work on such a CD player?

This is how you create audio CDs. If it's not working then there can be a few reasons why it's not.
burned the disk choosing "Audio CD" and the resulting CD would not play in a "regular" CD player.
Does this "regular CD player" play CD-R? Have you played other burned CDs in it?
Have you tried this burned CD in a different CD player? Pop it in a DVD player and see if it works.
Does this CD play in iTunes?
Are there any other suggestions?
Try to burn at a slower speed.
Try different discs.

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.

ITunes Error when using Nas drive..Error occurred while converting the file the disk can not read from or written to

This is the error I get only when trying to convert a file to AAC. I have my itunes library stored on a network drive it all works fine I can add files sync files with my devices exc. Only when I dry to convert a flie from mp3 to AAC do I get this error. Any one have any suggestions.
Thanks
Rick

I wonder if the disk being referred to is actually your iPod which is not plugged in. Maybe something has stuck thinking the iPod should be there.
Try completely removing all the iTunes related programs according to this method.

Restart you PC and see if startup improves.
If it doesn't improve you need to consider the possibility that there is something else going on.
If The problem goes away, hopefully a fresh install will be OK.

Try using VLC Media Player 2.0.6. EasyWMA 3.3.5 or Music Converter 1.5.1 should be able to convert them to .mp3.

If the music was just purchased on the iPod from iTunes Store, then sync with iTunes. You will be prompted to transfer purchased items to iTunes. You can also re-download prior purchases directly in iTunes: Download past purchases.
Otherwise, you will need a third-party utility for the chore such as Pod To Mac or Pod To PC.

How to delete all music files from iPhone4S

I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?

You can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music. Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

How do I find music that has been uploaded to iTunes from a purchased CD and iTunes is "unable to find the original file?" I no longer have the CD. I have tried all the usual methods of looking in my iTunes library and through Find. No Luck.

Backup drive?
Subscribe to iTunes Match?
If neither of the above and you don't have the CD and can't find your tracks on the computer then they you're stuck. A file recovery utility will cost $100, plus another $100 for an external drive to which to resue the files, and may not even work. You can buy a lot of CDs for $200.

How do I convert a file to a word document

How do I convert a file in pages to a word document so I can attach it to an email?

This is pretty infuriating. There is NO way to SAVE AS a Word document. You can only export it to Word. I'm getting increasingly irritated by people saying 'That's the same as a Save'. No it's not!
At home I have a Mac, but at work we use PCs. I don't have Word on my Mac (or Pages on PC, obviously). When preparng documents at home, the ability to Save AS a Word document has been crucial. Now that has been removed. I am being forced to shell out for Word. Once I have Word (a far better application than Pages, IMO) I will simply cease to use Pages.
Why would Apple want to force dual-platform users to purchase one of their rivals products? Especially when this would mean less people using Pages as a result? Baffling, yet somehow not surprising...
