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.

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • 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

    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 .

  • How do I get music from itunes into my slideshow in elements 10

    What is the procedure to get music from itunes into a slideshow in elements 10?

    If your music is in iTunes own format, you'll need to convert it first. Elements works best with .wav files. Here is the Apple article on making conversions:

  • When I upload audio from itunes into my imovie project, it does not show all of the track?

    Hi, I have opened a new project in imovie - I have uploaded 200 photos into the project to make a Comic Book movie!
    this project is 7 mins and 8 seconds long - the exact length of the audio track that I want to play during the movie!
    I have selected the music by clicking the musical note button in imovie, which open up my itunes library and displays the track I want to use that is 7 mins and 8 seconds long.
    When I click and drag my MP3 audio from itunes into my imovie project, i only plays the first 5 mins & 33 seconds; leaving my project in silence for the final 1 min & 3 seconds????
    I have not added markers, there are no fade ins or fade outs - only the first 5 min & 33 seconds or a 7 min & 8 seconds MP3 Audio track???
    I have spent 10 hours trying to rectify this problem.......
    can anyone help me with this problem
    Peace, Love & Happiness

    Check to make sure that Contacts is toggled on to sync by going to Settings > iCloud. Also go to iCloud.com to see if the contacts are showing up there to see if it syncing those contacts.

    Hi scousewayne,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    You will need the BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed on your computer to synchronize music to your BlackBerry from your iTunes. If you are using Desktop Manager 6.0, Select Music and select either All Music or Random Music and select Sync.

  • How to get apps from itunes on computer to ipad

    Hi,
    I just downloaded an app from itunes on my computer, and when i went to drag it over to my ipad, because i manage my music etc manuelly, it wouldn't go there,
    is there anything i'm not doing or is it only possible to get them from itunes to ipad by syncing them?!

    You have to sync with your device, not drag it. Please read your user manual. You can download a copy from support.apple.com/manuals/.

  • I still don't understand how to get video on my iPhone-HELP!

    I have an iPhone and a iPod Classic and I just can't figure out how to get video on my either device, nothing I do works. I'm not talking about buying movies, etc from iTunes, I'm referring to videos I already have on my computer, converting them to the appropriate file extension (which I still have no idea what that is) and then where do I put these videos on my computer in order for iTunes to recognize them and pull them in?
    I wish these devices were simplier to work with, where they acted as hard drives and you could just drag and drop what you wanted where and play them. But of course it has to be more complicated then this because Apple wants to control the users experience (sound familiar?)...I'm an advanced computer user and I have to admit that I'm embarrassed by the fact that I can't figure this out.
    If anyone can give me SIMPLE instructions and a program to use to do video converstions I would appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Im not going to be a great help as im on OS X, bit Ill have a go:
    For a number of reasons, iTunes and the iPod/iPhone only support a handful of types of video file. Mainly a file type called .mp4 which is normally h.264 with embeded metadata. This isnt a special Apple video file, and as long as it doesnt have DRM, can be played on many modern devices such as the Xbox360, PSP, PS3 etc.
    The only limiting thing you have to watch out for is the resolution of the video as some devices will not be able to play the higher resolution content such as a 1080p HDTV stream on an iPhone, it just wont play!
    So what you need to do, if you have videos in many different file types such as realplayer, wmv, and avi etc, you need top convert them to mp4, and then optionally add cover art and tag the file with show name etc.
    None of this is built in, partly because Apple wants you to buy content rather than get it elsewhere, and partly as itts a little more complicated than making an mp3 at the moment.
    On my Mac I use a program called Handbrake (free) that can rip from DVD to an iphone version, and a program called VisualHub that can convert just about any video type to iphone format. After encoding the video, i use a program called MetaX to correctly tag the video fiels so that they are easy to find in iTunes and so that I can make smart playlists etc. Do this and the files in iTunes act just like if you had purchased them from the store.
    Now, I dont know whats good for Windows, but I did a google search and found this which is free and for Windows:

  • HT4910 I still don't know how to get contacts from iCloud to my macbook !

    For some reason when I sync my iphone to my macbook it is NOT syncing my contacts properly.  My contacts are on iCloud, but how do I get them from iCLoud to my Macbook so that iCloud, iPhone and macbook all have the same contacts.
    Also for some reason there is one group on iCloud with my husband's contacts on it, how do it get that out of my iCloud and into his iCloud?

    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book. Contacts on the phone is similar.
    Do you and your husband share an iCloud account or are you logged into his iCloud account as a secondary account at mail, contacts & calendars.
