I need to save all my files in itunes to mp3 or wav but itunes wont let me!

hiya!
i want to save all the tunes from my itunes library as wav of mp3 but when i click on it and click "convert selection to mp3" it says " (file name) can not be converted because protected files can not be converted to other formats" please help

Sorry, but tracks purchased from the iTunes Store are copy-protected (except in the case of iTunes Plus tracks) and cannot be converted to another format. All you can do is burn them audio CD or, of course, back them up to a data disk.

  • NEED TO SAVE ALL MY TAB'S AND BOOKMARKS TO MY EXTERNAL H'DRIVE. HOW DO i DO THIS PLEASE? i

    After my H'drive died some time ago I lost all mt Firefox bookmarks and tabs. Now that I am up and running with a new hard drive plus an external H'drive I need to save all my bookmarks and ttabs to my external H'drive.
    Can you please tell me how I can do this.

    These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
    FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
    Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
    In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
    your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
    It will also make backup of files that you choose.

  • I need to save a midi file

    Hi All
    I've recorded some piano in GB on my new laptop (MBPro) but need to edit it in Logic. Since I'm running LogicPro7 (on my iMac upstairs) it won't open' the file, as it says it's created by a newer version of Logic.
    So I need to save the midi file out of GB, how do I do that?
    Thanks

    Interesting, would you know what type of I should search for?
    I have to say, it seems like  a pretty basic requirement.

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)
    Chris

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • Save all Open Files in CS4?

    Hi all,
    Looking for a script that will save all open files as a a JPG to a specific directory.  I tried using this in CS4 but it doesnt work.  It just opens the save dialog and thats it.  Want something a bit more automated:
    var tempFolder = new Folder ("C:/Your_Temporary_Folder")
    tempFolder.create();
    var DL = documents.length;
    for(a=1;a<=DL;a++){
       activeDocument = documents[a-1];
       var AD=activeDocument;
       var imgName= AD.name;
       imgName = imgName.substr(0, imgName.length -4);
       AD.flatten();
       saveFile = new File("C:/Your_Temporary_Folder/"+imgName+".jpg");
       saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
       saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
       saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
       saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
       saveOptions.quality = 12;
       AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
    Thanks.

    Hi guys,
    That fixed it.  The other problem was that the name length was too short:
       imgName = imgName.substr(0, imgName.length -0);
    So I corrected that as well.  Thanks for your help.
    Is it possible to add a "close without prompting to save" in the script?  So it basically saves the file then closes the window in PS without prompting me to save it again?

  • Can't save-All-relative files and don't see check_cs5.css under tab index.html

    after closing check_cs5.css in the second tutorial I was suppose to get two tabs (source and check_cs5.css) which I could click on (underneath the index.html document tab). I don't see these. I can't get both the Design window AND the check_CS5.css code window. I only get the code for index.html and the design window. For some reason when I was suppose to save "all-relative-files" ... that was grayed out so I "saved ALL". I don't know why that was but it probably had something to do with the problem I just mentioned. This occurred near the end of tutorial 2 of the beginner tutorial.

    Hey there Shomail,
    It sounds like you are wanting to copy your content from your iPad to your computer. You can trasnfer your iTunes purchases from the device to the computer with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    To transfer iTunes Store purchases from your device to a computer, follow these steps:
    Connect your device to the computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following dialog may appear:
    Click the Transfer Purchases button.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content will be replaced with whatever existing content is in the current iTunes library your device is connected to. If there is no content in the iTunes library, nothing will be synced to your device, and your device will be empty.
    Please note that this feature works only for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library. Please see this article for more details.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Sava all related files

    Good evening,
    The question is: how can i save all my files included images and javascripts in one folder.
    I know and see that there is a option sava all related files, but this option is gray (so i cant activate this option)
    I guess that this will save exectly what i want or perhaps most of my whises.
    But how come that this option is gray and how cant i resolve this problem, so i can use this option?
    I hope that some one could help me out with this one, cause i am not the brightest in dreamweaver.
    Cause is Indesign you would just activate save as package and done.
    Kind regards and already many thanks.

    Your question is a bit confusing.
    Is it that you have a site with files in various locations within the root, and now you want to save all those files within the same folder?  Why?  And if you do want to do this, I suppose you want to do it so that the links to the files would still work, right?
    In DW's File panel, you could just one-by-one drag and drop all your files into a single folder - that will preserve the linkages between these files.
    The save all related files function will only save the files back to the location they were in when you created the link.
    But I have a strong suspicion that we are not talking about the same thing....

  • I have forgotten my security question answers, i have tried to reset them but it keeps saying i need to save changes before i leave the page, i try to but it does nothing. help?

    i have forgotten my security question answers, i have tried to reset them but it keeps saying i need to save changes before i leave the page, i try to but it does nothing. help?

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
    Go to: Apple Express Lane;
    Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
    Then choose iTunes Store;
    Then choose Account Management;
    Press Continue;
    Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click Continue;
    Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
    Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would like your security/challenge questions reset;
    Click Send.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    Presently there appears to be problems on Apple's end, so it may be quite some time before they respond.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
    on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
    Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select "done", in the upper right corner
    sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the security questions.
    At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
