How do I convert the MP4 files in itunes back to MP3 files so they can be downloaded on a usb drive to play on a CD player?

I am not a computer genius.  Somehow, my Itunes files are now in MP4 format.  How do I convert the whole library back to MP3 so I can download on a usb drive to play on the CD player?  Help!!!

  • How do I change the info (artist,album,etc) on an MP3 file?

    I am editing some mp3 files in GarageBand and I need to put in a different artist and album name. When I export the file from GarageBand and open it in iTunes it says that the artist is me and that it is my album. Any help on how I change it? I need to change the files properties and not just the name in iTunes because I need to upload it to the internet and so the artist name needs to be downloaded with it. I am running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1, iTunes version is 12.0.1.26, GarageBand version 6.0.5 (428.5).
    Thanks

    Change the preferences in GarageBand in the "My Info" settings before you create the project:  The "before" is important, because a bug in earlier GarageBAnd versions causes GarageBand to ignore the changes settings, if the project has been created with different "My Info" settings.
    You can also enter different settings, when you bounce the song to iTunes using the Share menu:

  • How do I get the last version of iTunes back? The new update is horrible

    I have not been on iTunes in a while and had an update when I got back on. I went ahead and updated iTunes and have since then regretted doing so. Do I really have to delete everything on my iPod just to add a few songs? And I still buy CD's and import them into iTunes. When I look for the artist, I see alot of "Tech N9ne ft..." "Tech N9ne ft....." Tech N9ne ft..." Seriously??? I have to go through each folder just to see what song is in it and see if I want to add it. This new version of iTunes is really making me way more angry then it should. I want the old iTunes back. It was way more user friendly and easier to use for me.

  • How can i download a mobile usb driver?

    My hard drive recently crashed and I have had to redownload everything. I have downloaded itunes, but when I try and hook up my ipod it says I need an apple mobile USB driver. How can I download that driver?

    You can either use the manufacturer-supplied driver or NI-VISA to control your USB device but not both. If you have installed your device, each time you plug it in the FTD2XX.inf will associate your device with FTD2XX.sys. Then, you can use FTD2XX.dll to talk to your device using the call library function node. The DLL usually contains a whole bunch of useful functions that someone else already designed to talk to your device. This is the easier route and I would recommend it if you already have the DLL and the installed driver.
    The second method would be to uninstall or disable the driver for your device and create an .inf file with NI-VISA Driver development wiazard. This .inf file will tell Windows to use VISA as your device driver. You will, however need the vendor and product ID of the device to use VISA as your driver. The details of this are outlined in the NI document "Using VISA 3.0 to control your USB device."
    The drawback of this method is that VISA is just an API to talk to your device and you have to implement the communication protocol to talk to your device. This might take some time to do.
    This is why I recommend the first method. Someone else already implemented the driver for your and you just have to use the functions from the dll to implement your application.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I put the songs on my Itunes in a backup file/folder?

    Well, i have a ipod 30g video. I just recently cleaned out my computer a little bit and when I try to open my computer it reads:
    "quicktime failed to initialize (error -2093)."
    "quicktime is required to run iTunes. Please reinstall iTunes".
    Now I got to reinstall iTunes, but how do I save my songs and everything?

    Reinstalling iTunes should not erase your music files or your Library, but one should never leave this to chance.
    Make a complete backup of your iTunes Library.

  • How can I download an online presentation or animation played by adobe flash player ??

    I have a lecture that I want to keep , it's online , as an adobe flash player video , I want to download it .

    Another browser that supports Flash is Puffin... I prefer it to iSwifter and Skyfire. Puffin is the only one I've found that actually plays the Flash content on Hulu. It's a bit jerky and the sound is often out of sync, but that's more than the others will do.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

This Single pdf file can be used if we need to read any past email. you can easily convert oulook to pdf in no time.

  • Purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?

    purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?

    Problem Fixed:
    Remove the song from your itunes library, then go to the itunes store and try to download it again. It will say something like "this song has already been purchased, would you like to download it again for free?". Click yes, and it will download again. This worked for me, hope it helped

  • HT3825 so how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

    how do you convert the raw files to jpeg in iphoto?

    Many thanks Barbara and dj_paige.
    What I didn't mention is that I'm using PSE 5 with ACR 4.6, if its relevant.  I'm thinking of updating to the next version when its out in the hope that it will run with Windows 7 64 bit or I may go to Lightroom.
    I can now see that I can batch convert a whole folder of files using "process multiple files" as dj_paige suggested but that is too many at once as the settings I choose won't be relevant for all the pics in the folder. 
    I was hoping to batch convert say 5 or 6 similar photos at a time with the same settings. I'm not quite clear what you're suggesting but I'm hoping that its a "work round" using two stages to achieve this. 
    I can't see a list of open files within ACR to ensure that they are all selected as you suggest. 
    What does clicking Open rather than Done mean?  Does this amend the original RAW file to the settings selected so that if I then "process multiple files" on the whole folder to convert from RAW to JPEG they will in fact have already been processed in smaller groups so I can convert without applying any further changes?
    If so, what settings should I apply to "process multiple files" to ensure a simple conversion of file type rather than any further adjustments?
    Any further help on this would be much appreciated.

  • 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.

    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.

    Probably the easiest way to do this is to download a free media convertor. Most will be able to convert video into audio files.
