Exported my video from Elements 12 but Powerpoint does not recognise the video file. How can we do it?

Exported my video from Elements 12 - format mp4 but Powerpoint does NOT recognise the video file. Why?

.wpl appears to be a Windows Media Player playlist. I can find no conversion software for that, and Windows Media Player is not available for Mac anymore.
If you can persuade him to download iTunes and create the playlist as mp3 in a iTunes playlist, or even just burn the base mp3 files to CD as a data disc, that's about the only solutions I can suggest.

TS3694 I installed itunes onto my desktop but it would not recognise my device & eventually crashed the desktop. I tried my laptop & I got the 3014 error but the ipod has crashed and only shows a USB pic & itunes logo.

Hi, I opened my new ipod 4th generation and had a play with it to initially find & install the amazon audible which I had been told was easy. Anyway I did it so I thought I would have a play with itunes. It regognized all my tracks and I managed to buy an album which I could not find in 'music'. I had to play each tarck, one at at time while they were recognised in history.
While on my laptop I tried to install my tracks but nothing happaened. I was asked to update which I did & then my ipod locked. I've turned it off but when I switch it back on iget a picture of a USB cable pointing to itunes. Logically I thought thaht meant connect to itunes, itunes woud not recognise it and gave a 3014 error.
I have a brand new ipod that is useless, i Feel useless like I am doing somthing wrong. Strange thing is I upgraded from a Philipps GoGear Connect which has bad reviews but at least I could listen to my music, play games and use audible.
Has anyone got any ideas. It was purchased through Amazon/

TS1363 I have itunes in windows 8 but it does not recognise my ipod. Any tips on getting it to work and be able to Sync?

I have itunes installed on my computer, I have a new laptop with windows 8. It does not seem to recognise my ipod and therefore I cannot sync it. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
See also Corrupt iPod classic.
It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.

That list includes all the apps that you installed to your device directly from iTunes on the computer, or which were purchased on the iOS device and subsequently transferred to iTunes on the computer.
If you right click on any item in that list and choose "Show in Windows Explorer" it will open your iTunes application installer directory on your computer, which should be:
C:\Users\User\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications
In there are all your saved application installers (*.ipa files). You need to delete those actual installer bundles and then make sure to NOT allow the "transfer purchased content" when you sync or backup in iTunes (as that will just put them back on your hard drive).
One caveat to removing those, is that if you ever wish to keep a specific release of a particular app, and the developer replaces the iTunes/App store version with something else, your sole source for your older version will be your own stored copy of it. So for example, when PDF expert released their iOS 7 update, and charged everyone full price for it, if you wished to keep using the previous version on your own devices, then you needed to keep a copy of the installer on your own computer as that older version is no longer available in the store front.

You are aware that you can only sync apps using iTunes and that the apps must be from Apple app store?
What did you install in the Phone Shop?

As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
Good luck.

Hi Marcel1no,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that it can be frustrating when an application downloaded from the App Store is not behaving as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article for information on troubleshooting apps downloaded from the App Store.

Somehow my calender was erased. How do I restore it? I have time machine. Fortunately it was synched with Outlook, so I still have it there. But Ical does not recognize the Outlook file. Is there a way to restore from Outlook? resi

Somehow my calendar in iCal was deleted. It was not archived. I have Time Machine. How do I restore? Fortunately it was synched to Outlook, so it is not lost. I would like to out it back in iCal but iCal does not recognize the Outlook file.

Thank you. It's all back to normal (took around 7 hours on the late 2009 iMac). Time Machine's become better now compared to the last time I used it to migrate everything automatically (Snow Leopard days). With Maverick's Time Machine, it's almost like a cloning (except for the password) tool now. But it's always great to name the account and maybe the hardisk the same names so can just replace a newly installed OS.
God bless. Thanks again.

Since upgrading my Macbook pro with Yosemite, I have problem with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 - the printer works normally but it does not recognise the scanner, can you help with this?

Since upgrading my Mac book pro with Yosemite, I have problems with my Xerox Work Centre 3045 printer. The printer works normally but it does not recognise scanner, I can not scan anything. Can you help?

Open Disk Utility and select your hard drive, then Repair Permissions, it will probably return a very large number of errors, primarily printer and library errors, so run it a second time. Then restart the MacBook Pro. If it still will not scan, try using Image Capture from Finder > Applications and see if that will work. If not, contact Xerox about updated drivers.

HT1751 Hi I followed the istructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC, can see albums listed in Library, but SYNCH does not put any music on iPod. It took me three weeks to import my CDs into iTunes and i DON'T want to do it again! Can anyone help ?

Hi I followed instructions to copy/move iTunes music to a new PC. I can see albums listed in the library but SYNCH will not put any music on my new iPod.
It took three weeks to import my CDs on the old PC and I don't want to do it again!

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

After having updated the software on my apple tv, i cannot set up home sharing on it (let alone itunes!) simply, the apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password anymore

the second apple tv where i am still resisting tomupdate the software works very well as always.
help!?

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!
