Importing sound files from itunes to ipod

I have used office for mac word notebook to record lecture audio, and then exported the sound file (.mp4) into itunes without any hassles. However, I haven't been able to drag them into my ipod when it's connected - any suggestions how I can do this?

OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
Let's start with that and go from there.

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • Updating music files from itunes to ipod

    hi,
    i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
    i'm using manually manage my files.
    i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.

    it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
    is this meant to be?

  • How to import music file from itunes to fcp?

    thanks in advance. I burned from itunes a track on to a cd. then tried to upload from cd to fcp. it plays for about 5 seconds, then stops with error msgs:
    "turn off unlim rt"
    lower compression rate"
    or "lower pref for real time audio track"
    I'm new to fcp and am stuck. can't find help in the books either. any way to just lift a music file straight from itunes to fcp.
    thanks.

    The "media drive" isn't a mac thing...it is a video editing thing. This is a drive that is separate from your main computer's hard drive where you store ALL of your captured footage, audio, video elements, graphics, still photos...everything you use in your video project. You should NOT be using your system drive for this.
    This drive, on the low end, can be a firewire drive. 7200RPM at least.
    You need to copy the music files OFF of the CD and onto your media drive...and you really should be organized about this. Organization is a HUGE part of video editing.

  • I can't import any files from itunes... the click and drag isn't working...

    I've tried clicking and dragging my mp3 from the desktop, from the finder, and straight from itunes, but i can't get it to be in garageband... at all...
    I feel like i'm doing the same thing i was doing even just earlier today, but it isn't working anymore...

    Is your mp3 maybe called .MP3? Then try to change it to lowercase.

  • How to import MP3 files from ITunes

    Hello,
    I am new with Mac and GarageBand (GarageBand'09-5.1)
    How can I import, from my iTunes library, a mp3 files in GarageBand, to use it.
    Thanks for clear answer

    I would suggest by starting with a Loop. When your project is up look at the bottom right of your screen. There are 3 buttons. The one of the far right is a Music note and film frames. Wen you click on it, you should see your entire itunes library. You can search through it or type into the search bar to narrow your search. Click and drag into the project area.

  • Uploading .wav file from ITunes to IPod as mp3

    All the cd's I have added to Itunes are in the .wav format to achieve highest quality for playing on my pc or other external systems. I would like to download these file to my Ipod as MP3, but cannot seem to find a way to download and convert without changing the format in my library before I send the files to the Ipod which would leave me with a library of MP3 files.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated

    I have iTunes set to not update almost all podcasts, because I want the kind of control you're asking for.
    To get episodes onto my iPod I drag the ones I want into a playlist that is set to update on the iPod. That way I get exactly the episodes I want, in the order I want them. Essentially, each one of those playlists is radio magazine made out of exactly what I want to listen to, and I don't have to mess with the iPod controls while I'm walking.

  • Why can't I transfer 24 bit m4a files from iTunes to iPod?

    Im trying to transfer, what was originally a FLAC and is now converted to m4a, to my ipod touch 5 in iTunes. It transferred to iTunes just fine, but when I drag the album up to the top right corner of the iTunes window where my iPod shows up when its plugged in, it just doesn't copy ANY of the files in the album. No error messege or anything, it simply just doesn't even transfer it.

    iTunes is quite good at failing silently if it doesn't want to do what it is asked. It doesn't say so explicitly here - http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod-touch/specs.html - but I suspect that there might be a limitation to 16-bit audio on Apple's devices. Wrong, seems the issue is more likely to be the sample rate. See this old post.

  • Trouble syncing video files from Itunes to Ipod

    I've downloaded a few videos through the iTunes store and they play through iTunes with no problem but when I sync to my new 32GB iPod Touch, I get the following message:
    "Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video "[name of video]", were not copied to the iPod "DC iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod."
    On a previous thread about this issue ive seen that apparantly Ipods are unable to take 'HD' video, anybody able to tell me how to take the video out of HD because ive spent £20 on the 'Glory Daze' series and uploaded the new IOS server in hope of working but at the moment its just looking like a waste of £20

    It's probably a good idea to update your iTunes. However, you should be able to get an SD copy of the same TV Show.  Try right-> clicking on the show in iTunes and looking for an option related to downloading or using the SD version.
    Anything there?

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • 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.

  • Recover deleted songs from iTunes using iPod

    I will preface by saying, I am an idiot, so please phrase your answers like you're talking to a 10 year old. I have a new Mac (my first) and I had iTunes all set up and working correctly until somehow I deleted a folder with half my music in it. It is all on my iPod, however. How do I get it from my iPod back into iTunes? There is some SINCERE gratitude here for anyone who can help.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you can use a keyboard command to prevent it auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer.
    Change your update setting to manual so that you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article:: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPodAccess Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    PodUtil Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are relatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
