I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files (not i-tunes purchases) which I just can't get into my i-tunes library. File converters don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

I've just changed from a PC to a mac and have a large number of downloaded WMA music files which I can't get into i-tunes. When the library was in Windows, i-tunes would convert the files automatically, but this doesn't happen now. I've downloaded a couple of file converters, but these don't seem to work either. Any ideas?

iTunes for Windows (but not iTunes for Mac) can import and convert unprotected WMA tracks. If the tracks are protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management) then it will not accept them.
One option would be to install iTunes on your PC, do the conversion, and then transfer the converted tracks from iTunes on your PC to iTunes on your Mac.

    You probably need to move your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER from your PC to your MAC...
    You can do this via an External Drive...

    Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
    The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
    However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
    In response to your suggestions:-
    I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
    The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
    Internet sharing is off.
    I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
    I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
    Thanks again

  • Help please - have a Nano and a Shuffle and neither are working! The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to do anything. I've done the reset,it worked the first time but not since. And the shuffle won't sync with my library!

    Hi,
    I have an iPod shuffle 4th generation and an iPod Nano 5th generation . The Nano wheel appears to have stopped working - I can't get it to play or anything. I've done the reset and it worked the first time, but now the only way I can get it to play anything is to shake it and go with the shuffle choices - I can't change volume, song, pause or turn it off.
    So, I decided to start using the Shuffle which I was given as a present last year. I've plugged it into my laptop (running windows 8 and newest version of iTunes). It appears in iTunes on the left hand side, but when I click to sync (whether I tick sync all or choose artists) it says synched but has no music. It seems to not be linked to the music library - when I tick synch all songs, next to the "sync music" it says 0 songs?
    Any help to fix either would be really appreciated - I'm without any music at the moment and I'm going away this weekend!
    Thanks

    Hi Bblairjones,
    If you are having issues with your Nano and Shuffle, you may want to try the Troubleshooting Assistants on the following page:

  • Changing date (and sequence) of events by changing dates of photos no longer seems to work. Any idea what to do?

    I am scanning in old slides and negatives (from the 1960s and 70s), and I want to get the resulting "events" in sequence from when the photos were taken, rather than when they were scanned. So I have been changing the dates of the photos, and previously this resulted in the associated event moving to the proper sequence. This definitely worked a month or so ago, both with prints scanned in on a flat-bed scanner, and also with slides and negatives scanned with a Veho scanner. That was faulty, however, and so it has been replaced with a Plustek 7500i scanner, using SilverFast scanning software, and importing the resulting images into iPhoto. I have recently tried to change the dates of the resulting events, and it doesn't seem to work as it used to. There has been an update to iPhoto 9.1.3 since my earlier success.
    Take for example one event, CS73A. Hovering over the event in the "All events" display gives dates of 1 Apr 2011 to 2 Apr 2011; these are the dates the slides were scanned in. If I open the event and choose the Info tab, it gives the event date as 02/03/1973 (which is the approximate date that I changed it to). I had done a batch change on the event this time, so the date and time on the first slide is 2 March 1973 09:30:48. Each successive slide is 1 minute later, and the last is 2 March 1973 10:08:48 (38 slides). I asked for the dates in the files to be changed as well.
    I don't know what I'm doing that's different from before. The only things I can think of are (a) something has changed in the iPhoto update, or (b) the SilverFast software stores the scanning date in some part of the EXIF that iPhoto can read but not change. I don't have tools to examine the EXIF unfortunately.
    What to do?

    Chris, I have run into the same problem.
    Try this:
    Open an event with more than one photo in it.
    Adjust the date of one or more photos. The event date does not update.
    Delete any one photo. The event date now updates to match the above date change.
    Undo the delete photo. The event date stays matching.
    Change the date of any photo again. The event date updates now every time.
    If you close the event and reopen it, you have to start over with the delete one photo thing.
    I don't understand it but it works here.
    I also have had the problem of events not sorting themselves in order of the dates when VIEW, SORT, BY DATE is selected. This seems to affect only the events were photo date changes had been made. Using the delete thing seems to keep the events in order.
    Another funny thing: When I put photos into iMovie the times in iMovie show as 7 hours off the photo time.
    I think Apple owes us an update to iLife!

  • Getting into the .pat -pattern library file

    Is there anyway to open up the .pat file (photoshop pattern library file)
    When I load it in my photoshop file, of course it tiles and fills the page.
    I want access to the SINGLE TILE that's saved inside the .pat file,  to use it as web background pattern.
    Thanks

    I don’t know any such method.
    But if one hovers the cursor over a Pattern’s icon in Preset Manager the pixel-dimensions of the tile are indicated; rasterizing a 100% instance of that pattern and selecting with the Marquee Tool set to Style – Fixed Size with those measurements should allow to select a patch of the correct size.

  • Am not able to install any add-ons in Firefox 11 and the suggested fixes here don't seem to work. Any suggestions?

    Installed Firefox 11 and no add-ons display. Tried to install Autofill Forms and I get the message "There was an error installing AutoFill Forms. Try Again" Same for any other add-on. Also running Norton 360V6 and can't even see Norton Toolbar. Have uninstalled and reinstalled both Firefox and 360 (the latter using Norton Removal Tool). Do not have this problem with Internet Explorer or with Firefox 11 on my other computers. Just this one. Plugins from an earlier version of Firefox show up, but not any Add-Ons.

    Maybe try the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article first?

  • I can't get into the i tunes store.

    I am on my Imac desk top at home. When I go to click into the Itunes store it wont load and let me in ? everything seems to be ok with my account details.

    Davs, 
    When you say "presentation," are you by any chance talking about Power Point?  If so, the music must be in one of the formats that is compatible with Power Point, which includes MP3.
    The files sold in the iTunes Store are in AAC format, which is not compatible with Power Point.  You can convert AAC to MP3 by following this guide:
