How to play wma files on my i-tunes on a mac computer

just need a little help with some WMA files.
when i try to open them on my mac book pro.
it opens it as a document file.
what to i need to do so i can play it on i-tunes and my i-pod.
how do i convert it to a MP3 file??

Download and use EasyWMA. EasyWMA will not handle protected WMA files; no Mac application can.

  • How to play WMA files encoded with DRM on M

    Hi -
    I downloaded and installed the drivers, firmware and apps recommended by Creative Labs to support transferring wma files with drm to the muvo through the creative media source. However when I attempt to transfer I encounter an "Error transferring files" every time. I can play the files on my laptop (windows 2000 sp4) using the cms player, but I still cannot transfer them to the muvo. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
    stpal

    thanks for the quick reply. i should clarify that the files are downloaded (walmart.com) in .wma with drm. strange but i reinstalled the firmware (v.40) and out of the ten files I downloaded i was able to transfer 6 of them using cms or wmp 9.0. the remaining 4 still errored out with the same error. by trial and error i was able to figure out that by playing them locally (which acquires the license) I could then successfully transfer them. thanks for the help.

  • How to play .avi-files in QT?

    Hi
    I just had to reinstall my OS 'cause my MacBook was behaving really badly.
    I used to be able to play .avi-files in Quicktime (I must have had the right codecs/plug ins?), but now I'm not anymore. I have the latest version of QT and have just downloaded new DivX codecs (from a link on apple.com). So now I have a new DivX-player. But what do I have to do to make the .avi-files play in QT?
    And also, how do I play wma-files in QT?
    Thank you

  • How to convert wma files for iTunes

    I will appreciate any help from anyone who shows me how to play wma audio files in Itunes. I do not want to use an outside non-Apple  audio video converter. The quick time program plays the audio file but I do not know how to bring it in the Itunes Library.
    Thank you

    Converting WMA Files
    In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

  • How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them

    How can I get my books that I download from the Library that are WMA files into my I tunes so I can listen to them. They have a ton of books but I can only listen to them from my windows media player and I wouldlove to download to my I pod but I have tried everything I can think of it they won't go over.  Someone said all I had to do was copy them over and they would convert but I can't even get them to copy.  Thanks.

    Well it started happening AGAIN with my 2nd IPod. No matter what I did, it Itunes would NOT restore it!
    I finally installed Itunes on my hubby's PC at work and managed to get it restored there.
    Apparently, there must be some sort of compatibility issue with the windows version of Itunes and some other piece of software on my pc.
    And one more important thing! I had to follow the instructions in the other thread that talks about how to correctly uninstall itunes and quicktime, in order to completely eliminate ALL traces of my "first" ipod's existence so it wouldn't demand that I restore it.
    I think the software got "confused" and thought when I connected my 2nd ipod, that it was the 1st and that it still needed to be restored.
    Basically, this is just POORLY written and POORLY tested software!

  • Looking for some info on how to play music files on IPAD2

    Hi and thanks for sharing.  Trying to figure out how to play sound files such as wavs or mp3s on my ipad2 while I browse the internet or use my computer.  I was trying to see if the music feature will play my songs or if I can import downloaded files from the net to itunes and if that will play in the background.  I have an audio program that can send sound files to email and was trying to figure out how, similarly, to get this play in the background while I do things too.  That and sound files downloaded from the internet.   Do these go to iCloud when you download them?  Can I import sounds into itunes with my iPad someway.  (It's the only computer or device I own).   Basically looking for a pathway to get music from my audio program that's sent to email, and clips I've DLed off sites on the internet, to play while I use the pad or browse the net.  Thanks for your intel on the mission.   Cheers!

    The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

    Think I will wait until they get it fixed.

  • How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

    I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
    Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
    There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe  provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why.  Looking into it)
    There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though.  Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
    On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP.  Get it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
    That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

  • How to play Swf files on the iPad??

    Just as the title sated, how to play sef files on the iPad, since the iPad lack of flash support, and I don't find any program to handle with the swf files to playing on my iPad

    Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line (unless something like the iSwiffter app work with it), but again some of them have app versions in the store.
