How do I copy .jpg and .wma files to my ipod?

Now using itunes 7 I am unable to work out how to copy photos and short clips to my ipod. I tried dragging them to the ipod in the source list, also to the library, nothing. I mucked around with the video tabs but I dont understand all that sync stuff, I have bits and pieces all over my computer, not just in a particular folder. Just want to drag and deposit. But how?!?!??!?!?
Thanks for your help.

Whoa. Let's take a step back here and look at what we're saying, before we wear out the word "convert" like it's going out of style.
If the wma file is a PROTECTED wma file, forget it. iTunes will NOT convert it. Most wma files purchased from legitimate music sites (i.e. Buymusic.com, and others) are protected. They will not convert in iTunes and they will not play on iPod. There are MP3 players on the market that will play them, but, hey, you bought an iPod. So when it comes to wma files, let's not throw around the word "convert" like it's so matter of fact. Now if you're talking about UNprotected wma files, different story.
That being said, here's the work-around, assuming it's legal, which I cannot answer. Burn your wma file to CD as an audio file, like you're going to play it in a CD player. Then rip it back to your computer using whatever software you have that will do this. My suggestion would be to rip it as an mp3 file, this being a generic file type. Then you can import it into iTunes and put it on your iPod.
But here's the thing. In many cases, protected wma files purchased from music sites will only burn to CD so many times, as established by the site. So if you've already burned the wma file to CD a few times, you may be out of burns. All you can do is try it and see.
Am I wrong on any of this? Is all of this burning and ripping legal?

  • How to have my Jpg and RAW files in version sets (PSE10)

    I take both jpg and RAW files on my camera so that most of the time I am pleased with the jpg and do little editing, but some of the time I need to really work on a photo which is where the RAW file comes in handy. In my photo well I have 2 of each picture displayed ie the jpg and RAW. How can I get it so only the jpg is displayed and the RAW either hidden or as a version set collapsed? Having 2 of each photo makes the photo well look untidy and full of duplicates.
    Help appreciated.

    Highlight the two photos (using Ctrl+click), right-click on one of them and select "Stack...Stack Selected Photos".

  • Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

    I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export"  and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

    Thank You

    Swing related question should be posted in the Swing forum.
    I don't believe you can add an .ico file to a JButton. This section from the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Buttons" will show you how to add a .jpg to a button:

  • Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

    I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive.  So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
    I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
    1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
    2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
    3. import .xml file through iTunes  file>library>iport playlist
    4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
    This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
    So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
    I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer.  I don't need to do that.  I have the music files.  I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

    Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook?

    How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook (bought around 2002) ?
    The screen from the old ibook doesn´t work anymore (logicboard problem I guess).
    I saved everything else with starting it in target modus. That worked fine.
    I want to delete the files after that as well, because I wanna give away the old ibook and don´t want anyone to read my emails!
    Little helpers I have:
    A running MacBook
    External Screen (and cables to connect)
    Fire Wire Cable

    Don't know how helpful this will be but I often copy mail from one computer to another, I drag the mail from the mail window to the other computers drop box, then from the other computer double click it and mail asks me what I want to do with it, of course without a screen you'd need to use back to my mac.
    If you don't have back to my mac running, you could set up a second user account on the newer mac, import everything via target mode as suggested by c above, and then drag the mail to the first user account drop box.

  • Import process hangs indefinately on JPG and AVI files

    Hi,
    I'm seeing a similar issue to some of the other posts.
    My configuration is Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM and a Core i7. All the photos I want imported have been moved to the C drive.
    When I try to import a folder with a couple of sub-folders containing a total of about 3000 JPG and AVI files (from a CANON 450D and Fuji Finepix 200EX), the import process hangs inderfinately, and I need to kill the process.
    Only around 500 photos get imported.
    One strange thing is that I am only able to preview a couple of the files in the preview grid. However when selecting to view a single file instead of the grid view I am able to view the file in question.
    I have tried to import one file at a time (for a couple of the ones that fail that is) but the import process still hangs, even though I am able to view the file itself before import.
    Have also tried only JPG files, same result.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    What happens if you try to copy these files to your iMac first? Your problem may not be that applications quit when opening but rather you're having problems simply accessing the disk.
    If your external disk was formatted as NTFS by your Windows machine then your Mac will not be able to write back to the disk. Your applications may be attempting to save temporary or permanent files back to the disk. Verify this by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". Click the "More Info..." button. Under the Hardware section on the left, look for your drive. It's probably under ATA. Select your drive and look at the "File System". If it is formatted as NTFS, you can copy the files to your iMac, and use the Disk Utility to reformat the drive to a Mac or MS-DOS format.
    This could also be a symptom of disk corruption. You can begin troubleshooting by using the Disk Utility found in /Applications/Utilities to verify/repair your disk. If Disk Utility finds problems but is unable to fix them, you can purchase third party tools such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to attempt to repair your disk.
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Linking adjacent JPG and CR2 files

    Most of my folders treat adjacent JPG and CR2 as one file when viewing in Lightroom. However, I have one folder that for some reason treats them as two photos—they are not linked together. How can I fix the photos in that folder so the adjacent JPG and Raw files can be viewed as a single photo?  
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks. I tried that with stacks at 1 second and then collapsed stacks and it worked well. However, what shows up now is the JPG. How can I have the Raw CR2 show up on top of each stack?

  • AE CC crash when drag jpg and png files to comp

    Hi I have noticed photoshop exports of jpg and png files cause AE CC to crash when drag these files  to comp Same jpg and png exported from CS6 do not cause crash.

    What exact version of Photoshop CC are you using? 14.0, 14.1, 14.2?
    How are you saving the PNG and JPEG files from Photoshop? File > Save As? Save for Web?
    In After Effects preferences > Media & Disk Cache, is the Create Layer Markers from Footage XMP Metadata option enabled? Does the problem go away if you turn this off?
    A similar problem recently occurred with files generated from Illustrator CC (17.1):
    http://adobe.ly/1jlIykQ
    However, we have no reason to believe the same problem would apply to files generated from Photoshop. I am not able to reproduce your problem with PNG and JPEG files saved from Photoshop CC (14.2), either from Save As or Save for Web. So either the conditions of your problem are more specific, or it is not related to the XMP Metadata problem.

  • Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

    I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

    No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

  • I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files.   What am I missing here?

    I write both JPG and DNG files in the camera.   Camera is a Leica Monochrom.   Photo, unlike iPhoto, seems to ignore DNG files and only imports JPG files when both are present on the SD card.  JPGs are used for quick proofing on an iPad.    DNG RAW files are edited on a Mac Pro (2013).    Other than deleting the JPGs before importing images from the SD card,  is there any way to force Photo to select and import only the DNG images?

    Thanks Larry,
    I did see the J stacked in the lower left of the thumbnails but couldn't figure out how to get to whatever is below it.   How do you select R?  
    I use an iPad to do quick proofs of my images.   A JPG is good enough for a proof ( dust on the lens,  composition, blown out image, etc. ).   The iPad is JPG friendly and can load the images quickly.    Serious editing takes place on my Mac Pro with the DNG files.   I use the same workflow with the the Leica M 240.   iPhoto has been a quick and easy importer to the Mac capturing all of the metadata in the EXIF sidecar file ( location, date, time,  camera settings, lens type).  A quick scan in iPhoto for the "keepers" let's me export those worth editing to Lightroom/Bridge/Photoshop.  I typically shoot 50 images from three locations in a normal day.  If I'm lucky I'll get 1 worth real work to add to the portfolio.  

  • Mixture of mp3 and wma files on my muvo

    I got a muvo tx last week as a gift. I copied about 250K of mp3 and wma files to it from my laptop running windows xp pro. The player plays all of the mpe files with no problem but won't play any of the wma files. The wma files were ripped from a cd using Windows Media Player.
    Any advice on playing the wma files will be appreciated. The little manual that came with the player says it will play mp3, wma, and wav files.

    JimR,
    For WMA audio files with DRM protection, you will need to use either Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource application to do the transferring of the files to the player. Only by using these application can the license be transfer to the player to allow playback.
    Try ripping the Audio CD again but this time go to the Windows Media Player 9 setting option and ensure that the 'Copy protect music' option is disabled.
