How do you download WMA Audiobook files to ipod mini?

I ahve downloaded some audiobooks from library online and the site says they can be transferred to a portable device, but when I go to make the transfer it says WMA files not compatible with ipod. How do I convert or get around this so I can transfer the WMA files to my ipod mini?

You cannot. iTunes and iPods do mot play WMA.
Most libraries use DRM protected WMA files by Overdrive!, which provides the audiobooks.

If you mac comes preinstalled with Lion, how do you download an installer file

So if you purchase a mac and obviously it now comes preinstalled with Lion. How can you download a Lion installer?Yes we do have recovery HD and internet recovery to reinstall lion but this heavily relies on the internet. Since the machine comes preinstalled, the Lion installer wouldn't appear in MAS. Aside from cloning the HD what else is our option?

I've seen this but what this does is to make an exact same replica of the Recovery HD. When you boot to this and go for reinstall OS, it will still download it to the internet. Ultimately its the same method as Recovery HD partition and Internet recovery. They all download the OS and automatically INSTALLS it to the HD. I am looking for a solution that gives us a "download only" option. Basically a Lion installer
e.g if you purchase Lion from MAS, it gives you that download file. That's what I was looking for, this is not possible for preinstalled Lion machines

How do you download a static file using a FileReference and URLRequest and show the progress?

All,
   I'm trying to download static content (PDFs) off of my server using tutorials from adobe's site and some online as well and i'm having no luck showing an updated progress bar. I attached the meat of my code below. If a user clicks a hyperlink, it calls the downloadPDF method passing in a constant url defined.
When debugging, i can see that the event.bytesLoaded is incrementing on each call to the progress method, however the bytesTotal is only set to the intitial number of bytes transferred on the first pass through the method. (Ex: First time the method is called, bytesLoaded and bytesTotal will be 4,000... which i dont understand... the bytesTotal should be the total size of the file being downloaded.. definitely not the case... the next time the method is called, bytesLoaded will increases to some number while bytesTotal will remain at 4,000). This happens during the entire file transfer.
Am i missing something? Are the examples incorrect? Also to note, i'm using sdk 3.2 (Not sure if that makes a difference.)
Thanks for any response or insight.

The tick counter has a resolution of 1 ms. Resolution, accuracy, and the responsiveness of the OS are three different things. The issue is that OS latency can be 10s of milliseconds or occasionally longer. If the OS decides to index the hard drive between the time you read the tick count and send the start audio command, your tone could be quite late. Sending the TTL pulse is a third call to the OS. So you have two latency times for each trial. Unless you have a real-time operating system, this latency issue will introduce randomness into your data.
Try sending TTL pulses of 50 ms duration every 200 ms, software timed, for a few minutes and look at the variation in the edge timing. Then try it again with tones thrown into the mix and see if the variation changes.
That is where hardware timing and synchronization pays off.

How do you convert a .mp4 file to iPod Touch 4G format in iTunes 11? I know you could do it in iTunes 10...

it I have a video that I made in .mp4 format and in my iTunes 11 library. In iTunes 10, you could convert it so it was compatible with mobile devices (in my case and iPod touch 4G). Is this still possible in iTunes 11, and if so, how do I do it? I tried just moving the unconverted video to my iPod, but that doesn't work.

In iTunes go to File>Create New Version>Create iPhone or iPod Version.

How do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as a album

how do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as an album i have several discs that have downloaded singley the i tunes is a mess

Steve MacGuire aka turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9910895)
Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

How to save downloaded update installer files

How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again? Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011. The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB. I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.

How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio

How do you download music and burn to a cd so it will play in a car radio?

Download the tracks you want form the iTunes Store, Amazon MP3, or other online music retailer.
Use iTunes to put them into a playlist.
Open the playlist and click File > Burn Playlist to Disc. (Have a blank CD-R ready for this step.) When the dialog comes up, choose "Audio CD."
This will create an audio CD that will play in a normal CD player such as the kind found in cars.

When you say InDesign CC, doo you mean the InDesign CC release from this year, or are you still using InDesign CS6 through a cloud subscription? There are a lot of users confused by this.

do you have the evernote app?
ok, well if you open a doc in mail app to preview it, it should say export to evernote, or another app that allows you to open files like good reader, ibooks, so it really just depends on the file type.
if it is a picture then hold down on the photo and it will ask if you want to save it.

An easy solution would be to install Picasa 3. When you load the program, you can import.

How do you download is07 I tried to do the update but my computer times out

If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off all your firewall and antivirus software on your computer until the download has completed.
Before starting the actual update you should force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up, and preferably copy any important documents, photos, files etc off the iPad so that you have copies of them outside of the backup.
