Importing and converting WMA to AAC error

I am trying to convert my music files and import to itunes.
When I attempt to bulk transfer I get an error with one track and the entire process stops. When I retry that track individually it does not produce an error.
Why does itunes stop the entire process for the one track that produced the error. Can I somehow reconfigure itunes to skip tracks with errors and continue converting and importing the rest of the tracks. It has become a timely process but it is going to get much worse if I have to do each track individually.
If Windows media player encounters a problem it skips the track and contiues with the remaining tracks.
Not a glowing start for my apple experience.
Thanks in advance for any help that is given

  • Can I quickly convert WMA to AAC?

    I am converting wma to aac and i am having to convert one song at a time. Is there anyway to select and convert an entire cd without having to convert each individual song? This is beating me down...

    Click on the first track in the list and then while holding down the shift key click on the last one. This will highlight the selection, go to Advanced>Convert selection to AAC and it will do them all in turn.

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.

  • Computer Freezes while importing and converting music

    I recently updated to Itunes 10.1.2, and now anytime I want to import a cd to my library or convert a non-aac format song into aac format, my computer freezes. Whats weird is my computer only freezes at 99.9 % importing/converting. i.e If I want to import a cd with 16 tracks, itunes will import the first 15 and then almost finish the 16th when my computer freezes. The first 15 songs are then added to my library and run properly upon restart of my computer but the 16th is not. Converting does the same thing even i convert only one song. I've tried re-installing, and downgrading to an older versions of itunes (9.2.1.5) and the same problem occurs. Any suggestions?

    I am also having the same problem. Itunes freezes doesn't respond for awhile. Here is the diagnostic results:

  • Import and convert MPG using vbscript

    Hi,
    Does anybody know can I import a video file and convert the footage to iPod compatible format using vbscript?
    Can I use the following script to import a mpg file?
    Set iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    Set mainLibrary = iTunesApp.LibraryPlaylist
    mainLibrary.AddFile("Filename")
    Thanks

    I found a COM function convertfile, but it doesn't work with mpg files. Does the current version of COM SDK 6.0.2.23 support conversion of mpg?
    Set iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    Status = iTunesApp.ConvertFile("m:\test.mpg")
    Thanks in advance.

  • Need expert advice to import and convert video using Windows COM SDK

    Hi,
    Does anybody know can I import a video file and convert the footage to iPod compatible format using vbscript?
    I found a COM function 'convertfile', but it seems only work with audio and doesn't work with mpg files. Does the current version of COM SDK 6.0.2.23 support conversion of mpg?
    Set iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application")
    Status = iTunesApp.ConvertFile("m:\test.mpg")
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks, but I know iTunes 6 (windows version) has a built-in function to convert a video to a format for iPod G5. That's why I wonder if the iTunes Windows COM SDK has the function call so that I can automatically import my scheduled recording to iPod. I think that's the advantage of iTunes / iPod. Actually I love my iPod G3 and iPod mini, but I don't see a reason for me to upgrade to G5 if it only accept H264 and mp4 because all my recordings (directly from my TV card) are only mpeg format and there is currently no command line tools to convert them for iPod. I know a bit of programming and it is much more conveninent to use scripts to do the mpg -> ipod conversion automatically than doing it manually using GUI programs..
    Thanks

  • Importing and Converting AIFF to MP3

    Purchased a CD with 12 AIFF files of music. Copied files to USB drive and inmported to iTUNES 8.0.2 and successfully imported files but the artist info and album name are gone. My ultimte goal was to convert from AIFF to mp3 so I could load it on Blackberry Bold 9000 on microSD card. Is there a way to import AIFF files while retaining info on music and save as mp3 files ?

    AIFF files have no tagging. This article explains how iTunes remembers CD's - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93952
    To be as painless as possible I would import/rip the tunes directly from the CD into iTunes and allow iTunes to go to the internet to fill in the blanks. If you do it this way then iTunes should tag the mp3's.

  • Pictures turn to black once imported and converted to DV.....HELP!

    Hi. I scanned a bunch of photos (all JPEG's), and imported them in to iMovie HD 6. They all show up fine at first, but as they are being converted to DV (red bar runs across), for about half of the pictures.....the pic disappears, the area turns BLACK, and when played, nothing appears. It makes no sense. They are all on my internal hard drive, and were all scanned using the same setting. Somehow, though, half work in iMovie and half don't. I'm getting very frustrated. Why is this happening and how do I fix it???

    I had reduced mine to about 1500 pixels, and they all worked after that. They should really make it so that the program TELLS you that you can't import pics that large. I feel like I'm dealing with a PC here.

  • Audio sync drift after "live" CD import and convert to 48/16

    I shot DV footage on a PD150 cam. The band recorded a CD from sound board to replace the mic audio of the camera. I'm running Final Cut Pro 3, and I have already converted through Quicktime the CD tracks to aiff files running at 48 ( they were 44.1) and 16 bit. The DV cam Orignal audio was also recorded at 48/16. Now when I try to sync the Cd audio (48/16) to the video clips 1: the audio sync drifts off during the song, and though it started right, the whole sync is way off by end. 2: The audio file in the track bar is longer than the video clip in the track bar above. huh? Could it be data rate Audio 187kbps vs. Video 188kbps or should I try and slow/speed up the play rate of either vid or audio. Or is this an impossible meshing of media?

    As Jim says, it's a function of how this was done. Next time you will know to look for ways to avoid the issue. But all is not lost.
    I'll give you the skeleton and you can figure it out.
    Find exact sync points near the beginning and end of the "video audio" and the "CD audio". Use drum beats you can be sure are the same. Identify them by ear and then by their waveforms, and put clip (not timeline) markers at those points.
    Sync up the ones near the beginning exactly. Now go to the other two, find out how far apart they are, and write it down. How? I haven't got all day.
    Calculate the time between the 2 markers in the video clips's audio, and between the markers in the CD audio.
    Translate both of those numbers into frames.
    Calculate the percentage by which the audio is longer CD audio / video audio = X%.
    Go into Soundtrack Pro or audio app of your choice and make a version of the CD audio that is sped up by X%.
    Bring that back to FCP and replace the version on the timeline with it.
    If the markers didn't survive, find the sync points in the new CD version. Line up at the beginning. If the ones near the end now match, everything is done and you can call me "Helpful" and "Solved". If not you can be angry at me or read it again.
    Good luck!

  • Imovie import and converts avchd into AIC involved .mov

    I am new to this and want to start off on the right foot. I noticed after importing 3 events this weekend from my HDR-CX12 (Sony) I have associated .mov files in the event directory under ~/Movies/IMovie/Events/ This concerns me since from my understanding AIC is great for editing but not so great for viewing. I wish to view these clips on a Popcorn Hour or other platforms.
    Should I keep the original files that the camcorder records in another directory?
    I see IMovie can export, but can it only export projects (not events)?
    I have fooled around with MPEG stream and found that going from AIC into another format will lose a lot of its quality not to mention the hassle of getting it to work (video or audio sometimes is lost if the format wasn't chosen correctly). What is a common work flow pattern people follow?

    AIC is actually a great codec for viewing - except that it is very large, so you can't really use it on an iPod or over the internet.
    Definitely keep the original AVCHD files that the camera records. The best way to do this is to create a disk image on your hard drive that is just large enough for the files. Move the entire contents of your camcorder into the disk image. You should be able to mount this disk image and import from it into iMovie as if it were a camera. Once you have it working, you can reformat your camera and be ready for the next shoot. If you wish you can burn your disk image to DVD for additional backup.
    General workflow:
    Shoot in AVCHD
    Import into iMovie creates AIC
    Edit in AIC (You don't have to know this. iMovie does it under the covers.)
    Share your movie in h.264 for viewing on computer, TV, iDVD, iPod, iTunes,etc.
    iMovie can only export projects.
    One exception is that iDVD can make a DVD of Events. The Events from iMovie will show up in the Media Browser of iDVD. If you want to watch unedited footage, you can do this.

    Hi Smash126,
    Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
    autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
    To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
    The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

  • Importing Mov. Files and Converting to Prores

    Hello everyone. I just purchased the Canon 5D Mark 3. I'm new to DSLR's. I'm not sure how to import and convert my footage to Apple's Prores files. I'm curious if there is a thread that will explain the process to import and convert the footage. To put things in perspective my last camera was a mini dv. Sony FX1. So I have been importing footage via firewire for a while now. Kinda lost since the world of Video has changed. Thanks for any and all help, advice, links and otherwise.
    Jeffery

    This is the typical tapeless workflow for FCP...including Canon 5D.  But, not sure it works for the Mark III...worth a shot:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhDnyWFAM10
    If that won't do it...then use Compressor to convert to ProRes.  Or MPEG STREAMCLIP...or 5DtoRGB (that one takes a long time)

  • Importing and exporting mp3 files

    I'm able to import mp3 files into iMovie and edit them but when I want to "share" this edited mp3 by exporting out of iMovie, it makes me save it with an .mov tag. I can't keep it as an mp3. This is a problem for me because when I play .mov files on my web site, it shows an entire black video screen instead of the little audio scroll bar I want with .mp3's. Any advice? Thanks

    According to Grant
    mp3's must be converted to AIFF format before they can be edited. So iMovie imports and converts the mp3 to AIFF. You then need to go to File>Share and choose Quicktime>Expert Settings and click the Share button. Then in the next dialog box choose Export>Sound to AIFF. Then to convert the file to mp3 import it into iTunes with MP3 set to your importing preference(iTunes>Preferences>Importing>MP3 encoder.
    I'm trying to convert a movie into mobile phone format so I can display it on my mobile. My version of iMovie has the mobile 3G format to save to, but seems not to allow mp3 as an option for the audio, so the mobile, which requires mp3 for audio, shows the video and not the audio. Grant's trick above converts the audio OK, but leaves out the video. What can one do? Will upgrading to QuickTime Pro help? Is this another useful thing Apple have not bothered to do, just as they don't bother to include file transfer to mobiles (available for PCs in Mobile Phone Tools) in iSync?

  • SchemaBindings and import and include

    Have inherited a set of XSD files, various imports and includes, that trigger object factory collisions. I believe I understand that SchemaBindings are necessary, to compel the names generated by the object factory to not collide. But I cannot find a single example of an XSD that demonstrates SchemaBindings and import and/or include.
    The error I see is "elements of type 'import' cannot appear after declarations as children of a <schema> element".
    Ditto for "include".
    Please, please, I need an example, not an explanation or article.
    Thanks.

    As Curt stated, the keywords are written to the file itself and will not be cleared using the clear and import function in Keywords.
    Using the clear and import option is useful if you want to get rid of the default keywords or have a better new list for import at hand. If you already have assigned some of these old keywords to files and they are not present in your current list then they will show as italic in the keyword panel (usually at the bottom under "Other keywords") once a file with this old keyword is selected in Bridge.
    When a keyword is in italic then you have the option to make it again persistent in your new list using right mouse click menu or leave it as it is. Using the find option in the menu should provide you with the result of all present keywords in the files you are searching in, regardless if they are in the list or not.
