I saved my aiff files to ext. storage.  Now how can I retrieve them and convert them to mp3 or wav files?

I was trying to free up space on my internal storage, so when I created files in Garage Band, I thought it would be a great idea to store them in my external hard drive.  However, I now wanted to retrieve my files and burn them to a cd.  When I dragged and dropped them to iTunes, they showed up in my playlist, but when I tried to burn the playlist, I got a message telling me there were no files in the playlist.  Then I looked into putting them back into Garage Band and transferring from there to iTunes.  But do not know how to do this, or even if I can do this.  Do I have to always convert my aiff files to either wav or mpe files before I store them?  Is it a lost cause for me now?  Would really appreciate help on this.

On the external drive, in the Finder, do a get Info on one of those & report size, where, etc.
Also, if you double click on one, does iTunes play it?
You could save some space without losing quality by converting them to Apple Lossless.

    It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud.  If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder.  But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.

  • How can I post or add a PDF, DOC, MP3 or other file on my site for visitors to download?

    The exact approach can vary, depending on if you are hosting your site using Adobe Business Catalyst or another hosting provider. In either case, however, the steps would be something like this:
    Use an FTP client to create a "documents" folder on your site.
    Upload the files you want to link to into this folder.
    Add links to these files in Muse using the full URL (i.e. http://mysite.com/documents/filename.....
    The Preview Page/Site in Browser options in Muse should work fine. Clicking on a link to one of the documents will open it in the Browser. The built-in Preview feature in Muse will work for some document types and not others. It just depends what you're linking to.

    This feature is coming up in Muse 2.0 and is available for testing in Muse 2.0 Public Beta currently available. Please check out a demo video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/muse-feature-tour/add-and-link-to-any-type-of-file/

  • How can I avoid pixilation and image degradation when I import PhotoShop files into Final Cut Pro X.9?

    When ever I import a RGP file (11.8 MB) into FC 10.9 I get pixilation with jagged images showing up on the full screen view.
    Any way or possiblity of solving this problem?
    Happy New Year!

    An RGP file?  Not officially supported by FCP X.  Now, if you're going through Photoshop, save it out as a PSD or PNG, you'll be fine.  And make sure the frame size matches the frame size of your FCP Project tilmeline.  If it is smaller, and must be enlarged to fit the frame, it will pixelate.  Can't enlarge digital images much without distroying them.

  • 2006 iMac running 10.4 OS. I copied files to ext. drive. Put in 10.6 disc and did a clean install (format) of 10.6. Copied data from ext. drive back to Mac. I didn't get all the files. CAN I REVERT BACK TO THE 10.4 OS SO I CAN COPY MY DATA PROPERLY?

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • Question : In "Mail" my entire SAVED FILE HAS DISAPPEARED....how can I retrieve it?

    In MAIL my heading for SAVED ACCOUNT for myself and my husband has completely disappeared with all our saved stuff.  How can I retrieve these saved files? thanks for anyone's help.

    As the link says: "Make sure Mail is the current app."
    Once you open Time Machine, you will see your folder list on the left like this just as you do when not in Time Machine:
    If you have more than one "Sent" mailbox (as I do above), just click the little flippy triangle to the left of "Sent" to see them all.

  • How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

    How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
    I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

    You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics).  iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream.  If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup.  You would have to restore from the backup.  But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason. 
    What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

  • I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash.  When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb.  How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

    Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
    iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
    So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
    One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
    Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

  • HT4847 i have 5gb of icloud storage, used 2.5gb but it wont let me unlock the other 2.5gb of storage. How can i use the remainig 2.5gb of storage?

    i have 5gb of icloud storage, used 2.5gb but it wont let me unlock the other 2.5gb of storage. How can i use the remainig 2.5gb of storage?

    I got rid of AMDS, ASU ,QuickTime and iTunes from control ones I also found folder in Vista with D:\Users\Rick\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library and there is one dated 2009-03012.itl. I moved this file up one folder and delted existing iTunes Library.itl. iTune still failed to identify my iPhone. There are other files iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Geniyes,itdn and iTunes Music Library,xml date dtd 06/18/2009 after upgrade except the latter which is date 06/23/2009. So something is not allowing me to pull or put everything back to when it worked.
    YES this is my only iPhone and only PC I have access to with iTunes.
    Here is what Apple gave to someone Sunday 28 June:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035950&start=75&tstart=0
    I checked these out too and they appear the same printed out nearly a week prior. I agree with Coach TO, if I had bad drivers or Vista errors it would not have shown up only when I updated to latest Version of 8.2.023. My Phone was identified on a PC with iTunes at the local AT&T store. He suggested I get phone into Recovery made while connected to iTunes and that resolves the problem 9 out of 10 time. Weak spot was he tried to get phone into Recovery without iTunes connection and thought I may have iPhone problem, then changed his mind when it worked while connected. He also stated it could take an hour. I have not tried to put my iPhone in Recovery lately, I think I did a while back and it failed to go into Recovery as error "iPhone detected by, not identified..."Has anyone tried forcing phone into Recovery? I understand you may lose all that is on phone. If iTunes still fails to identify would we not be in worse shape even if iTunes holds a recent backup which it does not for many of us? Will Apple take back or exchange phone if yours is not identitifed, AT&T today told me I had to go to Apple Store for this or anything to happen.

  • How can I save an edited converted file?

    How can I save an edited converted (from PDF) file?

    Hi alisonr1825446,
    When you convert a PDF file to Word/Excel, it's automatically saved to your Acrobat.com online account. From there, you can download it to your desktop to edit it, and then save it. To download your file, log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. Select the file, and then click the Download link at the top of the file list. Your file will be downloaded to the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • "Other" storage 261GB, how can I reduce this?

    I have a MacBook Pro early 2008 2.4GHz with 4GB memory and a 500GB hard drive, running Mountain lion 10.8.
    When I entered the "Storage" section in "About This Mac", I found out that 261GB are in some yellow bar called "Other", and another 85GB are in the "Backups" category. This is srtrange because I don't have any backups on my computer, and I've never backed up my computer using time machine or any other software.
    44GB are movies, apps, photos, etc...
    I ran the OmniDiskSweeper and it only found 137GB in my hard drive. That means it didn't find 255GB of storage.
    How can I reduce this "Other" storage? and where can I find those backups?
    Thank you,
    YanivWolf.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • In the storage there is " others" how can i find it and erase it

    in the storage there is " others" how can i find it and erase it

    abufadwa,
    something categorized as Other is not necessarily something that should be erased — for example, most components of OS X would be categorized as Other. If you would like to make more room on your internal disk, it would probably be better to choose from some of the other categories (viz Audio, Movies, Photos), and to move such files from your internal disk to an external disk.
