How do you convert an MP3 file to play in iTunes.

I followed the directions in the Technical Support Section and when I highlight the file and click on it, the advanced tab doesn't allow you to highlight the "convert" option since it only appears in light grey. Any suggestions?

Ok. Are you sure that they are .mp3 files? In iTunes, highlight one of the offending files and Get Info. What does it say on the Summary tab next to format? Does it say MPEG-1, Layer 3? If yes, it's an .mp3 file. If not, what does it say. If it really is an mp3 file, opening it with Quicktime. What happens? If it's an mp3 file, it may have corrupted tag information. iTunes is rather sensitive to that. You can try going to the Advanced menu in iTunes and selecting Convert ID3 tags.... I'd choose version 2.4 and see if that helps.
Best of luck.

    Everybody's wrong wrong wrong. You don't need garageband. Select the song, go to info. You need to select a start and stop time for the song that can't be any longer than 40 seconds in length. Then in advanced mode you convert the song to acc. once done locate the file on the computer. it should end in .m4a . Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
    That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

  • How do you convert a jar file into a java file,  ?

    how do you convert a jar file into a java file ?
    I am new to Java ,but have a little experience in C++ and Visual Basic.
    I want to edit and maybe create my own mobile games that are written or converted into jar files.
    At the moment I am using Java NetBeans , and Easy Java( the java pad).
    However the only solution I tried was to open the JAR file in winrar and see that its made up of png picture files,
    midi music files and class files. Unfortunately when I uncompressed the JAR file , there was NO java file to be seen and the JAVA editors Do not show the class file like a Java file. So why is there no extension Java file in the mobile JAR game ?

    Are you saying you want to take existing games and modify them? If the creators allow you to modify their source, then they'll provide you with that source (the .java files). If you're allowed to add things but not modify, you don't need .java files. Just documentation, which, again, the creators should be providing.
    Or are you saying you want to create your own games and distribute them in jar files? If so, there's no need to turn jars into .java.

  • 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.

  • How can you convert multiple PDF files at once to PDF/A-1b files

    I support individuals who on occasion have to submit a mass of files to a court and the requirement is that the files be in PDF/A format. Most are scanned files lacking the requisite structure to become PDF/A-1a files. So as I convert or resave files, I need to be able to specify that they be converted to the PDF/A-1b standard. And since it may involve over 100 files, it would be very inefficient to do so individually, file by file. Could this be done via an Action Wizard sequence? Could a script be written in Java that go through such a process, specifically choosing a PDF/A standard? Any insights would be appreciated.

    PDF/A-1a is very easy to automate in Acrobat XI Pro, indeed the compliance code was rewritten specifically with this in mind. Test Screen Name is correct that PDF/A-1b can't be realistically automated due to the complexity of tagging, but that's not your concern.
    In Acrobat XI Pro, create a new Action with no functional steps in it, then add the Save step.
    Click 'Settings' and change the output format to "Export File(s) to Alternate Format"
    Choose PDF/A from the list. It doesn't say so, but that's A-1b.
    I suggest using the file renaming feature so you're not overwriting the originals (e.g. append "_A1B")
    Save the Action and run it.
    Files with security, distributed forms, etc. can't be converted but the Acrobat engineering team claim that everything which can possibly be shoehorned into PDF/A will always succeed. In previous versions of Acrobat it often failed when it encountered things like iffy XMP data.

  • How do you convert a .mp3 to .aiff now that there's no quicktime 7?

    I used to use quicktime 7 pro to convert all the songs in my "final cut" projects to .aiff and now that there is quicktime 10, it won't let me install quicktime 7 on my laptop. What is apples solution for letting us easily convert our song files now?

    QuickTime 7 has been moved to Applications > Utilities in Snow Leopard. Otherwise it should be an optional install on your install disc. You could also try MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/

  • How do I transport an MP3 file to play elsewhere

    I'm trying to save MP3 files of a national talk show host- Bruce Williams, in a way that I can play these files in the car. Each of these files is 1 hour long and somebody in the forum said that I could only get 1 hour saved on each CD, which is right. He also said something about being able to save these files in a way in which they could be played on an MP3 player. In that case I could get 10 hours. I really no nothing of MP3 and was wondering if somebody could help with this. Is there a device that could play these files in the car, so that several people could hear at one time. Is there a boom box or portable player. Also how do I get files from my Mac to the player? Thanks for your help.

    MP3 is not a type of disk, rather it is just a type of file that you would burn to a regular CD (using iTunes or Toast or the Finder). The MP3 files take up less room than regular audio tracks on a CD. But they are burned to a CD in the same way (using your computer's CD burner). As mentionned above you have to make sure you have an MP3 compatible CD player to play them in. Most new portable CD players will do this. Just check the packaging - playing MP3s is an advertised feature.
    Edited to add: you could also skip the CD burning route altogether and buy a disk-based MP3 player, such as an iPod. You would then transfer your MP3 files (or other types of music files) to the device using USB. You would then listen to the music through headphones, or through your sterio speakers or your car speakers (accessory cable needed).
