How to get audio playing itunes music only

hi, i was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to give me a solution to this
i would like to have all sound by system or other applications disabled while itunes is playing
when itunes is closed, i would like all system and app sounds enabled
the purpose is to be able to hook up my mac to my stereo and listen to music without having any annoying sounds interrupting the music
thanks

Detour is a free app (no longer in development) that can reroute audio from different applications to different places (for example, I've got iTunes playing through my headphone jack and everything else through some USB speakers).
I'm not sure if this is of any use to you, but hopefully it is.

  • I don't understand how to get audio from itunes into my project

    i am new to elements but have some basic understanding, but I can't get any audio into my project from itunes, just keep getting an error.

    Thanks for the follow up.
    On your computer hard drive, are you seeing .m4p or .m4a for this file?
    Please check out the following online article on iTune music conversion to .wav (especially when DMR is involved).
    http://www.aimersoft.com/itunes-drm/itunes-to-wav.html
    But, going with your latest
    the error is @the importer reported a generic error'
    when i select the file to import it shows .MTS, in the error message it shows .m4a
    all a bit confusing.
    The first line of the above is consisted with having to convert the iTunes music to another format, preferred .wav (DMR or other reasons)
    But there is something wrong with that second sentence. I have never seen iTunes music with an .mts file extension. Typically you see that with a video file with AVCHD compression (1080 variety). So, please take another look at the properties of the file that you are trying to import...video or audio? On the other hand, m4a is a MPEG 4 audio file.
    Could you do a screenshot of the error message where you are seeing ".m4a" in it?
    We will be watching for your follow up. Do not give up. We will figure this out.
    Thanks.

  • How to play itunes music from external hard drive

    How do I either play continuous music from my external hard drive, or make itunes recognize my external hard drive as the library.

    Hi Jim
    I've recently upgraded to a macbook Pro and I copied all data, profiles etc across from my old macbook. I have also created a second account in my mackbook Pro. I am able to play my iTunes music from the external HD in the 'old' account, but not in the 'new' account, despite trying what you've said above. On the external HD, there are two folders: iTunes music and iTunes media. I have tried selecting each of these, but both times, I get this message: "An iTunes library file could not be found in the folder "iTunes Media". Please choose a different folder." ... Please can you help?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    how to get apps from iTunes to play on my computer

    That is correct if there is a similar application made for the computer. It will not be sold through iTunes. Either you get it from the developer's website or look for it in the App Store or look for it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads .

  • Any ideas or thoughts on how to locate JUST the iTunes music?

    I’d like to know if there is a way to run a program/script to identify the songs purchased from iTunes only?
    I have my CD’s uploaded digitally to an external drive and purchased iTunes songs and I’m trying to organize what I have.
    Any ideas or thoughts on how to locate JUST the iTunes music?

    Found a solution, but it's not ideal or what I was really requesting. However it will work for now.
    Add the "Kind" column and sort by "ACC Purchased audio file" and you can get what you need.
    I was really looking for a shell script to do this.... If anyone has a way of doing this let me know.

  • How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

    How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

    Click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, open the larger library in iTunes, move the media files from the smaller one into the library in the open iTunes program window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, and then import the playlists. Any rented movies will only play on the computer they were originally downloaded to.

  • I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC.  I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account.  How can I now play the music?

    I moved from USA to South Africa and now cannot play my music on my new PC.  I cannot remember the password for my USA account so cannot deauthorize that account to allow me to play my music on my South African account.  How can I now play the music?  When I try to use my secret questions to access my old account I am told I have the wrong answers, including my own birth date!!!

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

    My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
    So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
    I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
    Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
    I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
    Kind Regards

  • I can't get into the itunes music store - can anyone help?

    When I try to get to the itunes music store, I get the following error message:
    itunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Then try again.
    I don't understand what this means, and I don't know how to do what it is telling me to fix it. I'd appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Please be very specific, because I don't have lots of computer knowledge.

    Were you connecting regulary up until a week ago? I have noticed that I have gotten a lot of those messages tonight. May the iTune site is very busy? (a lot of iTunes cards given out today)
    I closed iTunes and then re-opened and it helped. My connections have been intermittent at best tonight.

  • How to get audio into Adobe Premiere Elements 12?

    How to get audio into Adobe Premiere Elements 12?
    I have filmed an air show with a very good camera JVC pro
    And when I pick up the clips in Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it works too, but only without sound.
    I think I tried everything for 4 days now.
    Sound in my computer works perfectly
    I go to where the video files are located and try to run them in VLC or in Nero Kwik so it works fine with both audio and video.
    I have checked the sound card.
    Yes, I have tried everything so now I'm so tired of this lousy so I'm ready to throw this program at the dump.
    It's not normal if you will keep on producing audio for over 4 days at Adobe
    The old Elements 9 worked fine. Offer some of would consider developing it again. I do not know how I should do.
    My name is Thore Hult
    live in Karlshamn in Sweden

    Thore Hult
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 working on? Have you updated it from 12 to 12.1 Update using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
    For your immediate problem.
    What is the model/settings for the JVC camera that recorded you video. I want to get at the properties of your source video including the file extension.
    Since you are getting video, but no audio, please download and install the free codec utility named GSpot to see what is shows
    for your Audio Name and Status.
    http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
    The other properties of the file there would also be of interest.
    When you import your source file into the project, do you see any "conforming" activity going in a progress bar at the bottom right corner of the workspace?
    If so, do you wait for it to complete before you move forward in the project?
    Can you get sound in any of your Premiere Elements projects with this current JVC file or other?
    Can we assume that your troubleshooting has included checking
    a. Volume control within the project
    b. Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO
    Let us start here and then we can decide what next if necessary.
    Thanks.

  • HT4623 how do I add the iTunes music app back on my phone?

    how do I add the iTunes music app back on my phone

    iTunes is a native iOS app and cannot be deleted. It is probably on another home page or in a folder. Search to see if you find it, and if not, then go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Home Screen Layout. That should bring it back. The only other thing is if you have turned on Restrictions and have iTunes restrictions turned on.
