I can't Convert midi files into any other format

A few months ago, I was able to convert midi files into mp3 when one day, I updated iTunes using software update. Ever since the updates I had for my Mac it still hasn't work.
It has this error that won't allow me to convert. I talked to my friend wrldwzrd89 who is one of my friends and he said that it is because Apple had a piece of data missing allowing midis to be converted to mp3, or any other format.
Is this true or do you know the solution?

I can't tell you the exact reason why it doesn't work, but there is an article about this problem and a solution if you have QuickTime Pro:
iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4
Not the last sentence in the article. That usually means they're working on a fix.
No guarantee that it will be fixed in the next version however. We'll have to wait and see.
Hope this helps.

  • Can't input MIDI file into project

    Hi,
    I can't input MIDI files into a garageband project. I used to do this very easily, just drag & dropping the file into a blank GB project. That was on my previous older computer, with a previous version of GB. Now I just got a brand new iMac G5 with the most up to date version of GB, and it is not working, the MIDI files just will not drop. I even tried by doing an 'open with', selected GB as the software, and got a message saying 'Garageband cannot open files in the midi audio format' !!!
    What's even crazier is that a couple weeks ago I had the same problem, and ****** around with trying different things, and at some point GB did accept the files ! But now it doesn't, and I have no idea what I did different then, probably nothing much.
    Any ideas ? It sure is highly frustrating (trying to stay polite here) when a brand new, expensive machine cannot do the simple things that a 5 year old one could.

    Have you tried different files? Maybe one that you're sure worked on your old computer? Some midi files can be tricky.

    Can you convert this file into good searchable pdf file: Medical Terminology- A Short Course.azw4

    I don't think that Adobe offers any software to convert .azw4 files.  Search Google for alternate converters.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

  • I lost a .docx word file , then i found it as a .asd file in the office recovery folder , but i cannot save it as a docx, when i save as a docx file or any other format i cannot find it in the destination folder and

    i lost a .docx word file , then i found it as a .asd file in the office recovery folder , but i cannot save it as a docx, when i save as a docx file or any other format i cannot find it in the destination folder

    No, I already tried looking at that. The file that recovered was not in the trash, it appeared in my documents folder. I opened it up and inside was an iText Express document with coding. Then inside of there, was and then and this "SoftwareMap" document contained a bunch of coding and symbols and words.

  • Can I convert a file into a PDF in Adobe Reader and automatically attach it in the Reader?

    I understand that I can merge files online.  What I'd like to do is have my original PDF open and convert an Excel sheet into a PDF that is attached to the original PDF within Reader.  Being able to do all of this in one place is the main reason I'm subscribing.

    HI Elizabeth,
    Yes, you are correct that merging can only happen online however if you are trying to achieve all the three task togather then i would recommend you to purchase the complete PDF solution Acrobat Professional.
    You can achieve this task with the feature in Acrobat called as Action Wizard which create a batch sequence of all the three process. You just need to run the process and your job is done.
    For more information:

    unfortunately, with Adobe Reader it is not possible.
    Let me know if you have any other question.

  • How can i convert ppt file into a keynote using windows 7 ?

    can i change a powerpoint file into a keynote file on my labtop using my windows 7 ?? if yes can i send it to someone who has mac OS and will it work well with him?

    No, he'll download it as a PPT.  Keynote can then open the PPT file, and he can choose to convert to the Keynote format once its open.

    All he'll need to do is save it.

  • CAN'T IMPORT MIDI FILES INTO GARAGEBAND

    Installed iLife '08 in order to use the new GarageBand. However, when I open up a new track and drop a MIDI file onto the window both the MIDI file and the track disappear. Any remedies?

    Same here. Now that I think of it, I recently put in Logic Studio 8 and Garageband didn't open on it's own anymore. That was iLife'06. I then up-graded to iLife '08 and Garageband still doesn't open to a new project. The only way I can still open Garageband is to make a "template" out of one of their demos, then when that opens I strip the tracks out and start with new ones. By the way, I just tried to install XLN Audio's Addictive Drums. They work in Logic Studio, but do not open at all in Garageband. Error message says the plug-in is not "valid". So much for Garageband being easier than Logic.

  • How can I convert a file in SAP RDI format?

    HI All,
    I have to convert the data which is to be passed to the Smartform into RDI format.
    I am using Application form (Print Workbench)
    for sending data to smartform.
    Is there any Function Module for converting data into SAP RDI format?
    Should I write this FM in User-exit of application form?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Anshumita.

    HI
    GOOD
    I NEVER FACED SUCH KIND OF ISSUES, BUT HERE I AM GIVING SOME DETAILS ABOUT SAP RDI FORMAT,I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
    Description
    Using the SAPscript Raw Data Interface (RDI), you can connect external text management systems to control individual requests, for example, optimizing postage expense. The interface contains all form data from the R/3 System, but no layout information such as font or page size. The external system alone is responsible for the layout and administration of the document data. The RDI is of special importance for mail processing. The external system sorts the document data from the interface and forwards the documents accordingly.
    The Raw Data Interface is a certified interface and allows easy connection to external systems. However, you pay the price for this extra function, as you lose tight integration with the R/3 System. For example, you cannot find out from within an R/3 application whether the external system successfully printed and sent the documents. In addition, extra expense is incurred each time you adapt a standard form, since the system has to adapt both an internal and external form. The external tool is not an integral part of the ABAP Development Workbench, so that field information (field type, output length and so on) from the ABAP Dictionary is not available.

  • How can I convert table object into table record format?

    I need to write a store procedure to convert table object into table record. The stored procedure will have a table object IN and then pass the data into another stored procedure with a table record IN. Data passed in may contain more than one record in the table object. Is there any example I can take a look? Thanks.

    I'm afraid it's a bit labourious but here's an example.

  • Can you open ID files with any other apps?

    I was a subcontractor for a printer. The printer's client requested the production files. I package the files. Five books. Each folder contains ID file, art, supplied word docs, and exported PDF. The client calls printer and says they all open but one. I open it, check it, email it. She calls me this morning to tell me the one file still won't open. I asked her what version of CS she has and she says she doesn't have InDesign. I tell her it's impossible to open ID file without ID. She goes off on me for questioning her, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, can someone tell me if it's possible she somehow opened the other 4 files somehow in some conversion app. The only thing I could think of is if they have QX and used markzware ID2QX plug in from within QX. I'm in the process of repackaging the files so all the ID files, PDFs, Word Docs, Art, Covers are all in separate folders.
    For the record, I opened all 5 ID files on my PC before sending to the client so the files aren't corrupt.

    My arrangement with this printer is that I surrender production files. Another part of the job was that I have to return LIVE paginated word docs to the client for future editing. In addition, the word docs are in Spanish and the client was very specific about page breaks. Furthermore, even though there are 5 books, I get Spanish word docs from 7 people. The word files come to me formatted. Almost as clean as my ID files would be. So I've been editing the word docs, exporting to PDF and placing those into ID.  I paginate and add art to fill in the holes as per sample books provided. So the layout files contain nothing but PDFs and filler art. It was the only way I could think of to give the client back word docs paginated specifically as they were given to me.

  • Anyone know a tool to convert PLSQL comments into HTML/other formats?

    Hi - does anyone know if there's a tool out there to convert PLSQL comments into HTML or other formats like you can do in Java? Thanks in advance - Jon

    This is only useful if you're using PL/SQL Developer. It has a free plugin called plsqldoc which will generate html pages that are similar to Javadoc pages.
    check here for more information
    http://www.allroundautomations.nl/plsqldevplugins.html
    As an aside , if you haven't already, you may want to devise a way of auto generating your HTML when a change is made or by running a regular batch job. This will ensure that your docs are in sync with the code. Documentation is only valuable if it is kept up to date.
    There is nothing worse than looking at the html docs for a package only to realise the docs are several versions behind the code.

  • How can I convert Java file into an XML file

    I have a requirement to save a GUI screen developed in Java as UIML(it is xml based language).
    So could anybody help me with how to do this transformation.
    thanks
    JhonMathew

    Actually UIML is XML based technology which is used to represent language independent User Interface. It stores all the information like what all comopnents are present where they are located on screen and what action is called when user clicks on some items on screen like button.
    All this information is stored in structured manner in XML(UIML). So if we have UIML representation of some screen then we can render it in any GUI specific language like HTML, WML, swing etc using language specific renderers and transformers.
    In my case I have swing screen and I have to transform all that information in UIML. Could you please let me know how to start on this
