Import files from internet archive

Please help, in plain english, how can I import grateful dead shared files from internet archive into itunes so I can load some awesome Dead shows onto my ipod? I have one ready here- it's a zipped MP3 file full of tunes... what next?
Windows XP

it's a zipped MP3 file full of tunes
old head,
More likely it is a zipped folder full of mp3s. Correct? If so, and if it is on your hard drive, double-click it, and when the dialog comes up, click on "Extract all Files." Follow the onscreen steps and you will end up with a regular folder full of mp3s. Put the folder wherever you want it on your hard drive.
Then in iTunes, use the File > Add Folder to Library command, point it to your new folder, and the songs will add to your library.
Once you've confirmed that everything worked, you can delete the original zip folder.
If anything looks different at any step, pls post again. Otherwise, enjoy the trip.

The import tab on the file dropdown menu is not functional under any type ussage, I want to import bookmarks from internet explorer

The Import tab of the file drop down menu will not highlight (function) when I follow all the instructions of firefox help. I want to import bookmarks from Internet explorer. At no time does the Import tab ever react when I move the cursor over it.
Thanks

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode
* In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and features like visited links are disabled and not showing
* You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing", possibly grayed
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
It usually works better if you export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I have followed instructions for importing favorites from Internet Explorer, but they do not show up in Bookmarks menu as shown in the support instructions.

I just downloaded Firefox 3.6 and followed the instructions for importing Favorites from Internet Explorer. Firefox said the import was successful, but the Favorites do not appear at the bottom of the Bookmarks menu (below "Mozilla Firefox") as shown in the Support instructions. Where can I access my Favorites?

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).<br />
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I want to import bookmarks from internet explorer, but the import link is ghosted out and won't give me access. How do I access the import function?

I want to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 8, but the import link under file in Firefox is ghosted out and doesn't allow me access. How can I access the Firefox import function?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I am importing bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9. If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get the links in the subdirectory.

I am running Mozilla Firefox 20.0.1 under Windows 7 Ultimate.
I am trying to import bookmarks from Internet Explorer 9.0.15.
If the bookmark has a subdirectory, I don't get any of the links in the subdirectory.
This has not happened on my other computers:
Internet Explorer 8 under Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 9 under Windows 7 Professional

This incomplete importing sometimes happens for unknown reasons.
You can manually export your bookmarks from IE and then import them into Firefox using an HTML file as an intermediary format. This thread has the steps: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/835144 Only 1/3rd of my bookmarks imported from IE. How do I move the rest?]
Does it work?

Importing bookmarks from internet explorer doesn't work

when i try to import bookmarks from internet explorer it say it's completed the import, but nothing was imported.

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the folder ("From Internet Explorer") or otherwise have problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the Favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.<br />
That way you also preserve any sorting that you may have done in IE with the Favorites.
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing! Help!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

HT5251 I CAN'T TO IMPORT FILES FROM MY COMPUTER....

THANS for guidelines but how to import files from computer and not from camera? i always receive the error message...

Sorry but we are not mind readers so ONLY know what you tell us
Your profile says you have OS X version 10.6.8 - iPhoto 9.3 will not work with that OS - you do not tell us what version of iPhoto you have
so once again the actual exact error message and a list of what you have tried and the actual versions of iPhoto and of the OS that you are running would be a big help
Then if I post a question to apple support i need a solution otherways...
It is not your English - it is simply not providing simple, basic information - we can not see your system and only know what you tell us - providing incorrect and incomplete information makes it impossible to give valid assistance
