IPod won't accept a WAV file - why??

I have a 4th-gen iPod nano, and I need to copy some WAV files onto it. However, when I sync the iPod, the WAV files don't appear on the iPod (even though I have not received an error message about copying them). The WAV files are ones I recorded myself, and edited in the program GoldWave. They are PCM signed 24 bit mono files. Does the iPod nano not accept WAV files in the PCM signed 24 bit mono format? If not, how do I need to format the files in order to be able to play them back on my iPod? Thanks very much for any help you can give me!!!

I have .wav files on a pc and am trying to transfer them to an ipod classic to either listen to on the device or to transfer into itunes. These are voice recordings. All of the files transfered but they are corrupted. How do I this properly?
Plus..I'm in a bit of a rush.

My iPod won't accept my wifi password...it says failed to connect...why?

I am unable to activate my new iPod touch...it won't accept my password I use for my wifi for other gadgets like my iPad. It keeps telling me connection failed! Help! Why won't my password work?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings (if you can)

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

FCPX won't accept ".dv" video file

Why won't FCPX won't accept what FCE used to work with??
This is the file type:

Start with one of the uncompressed base settings
If the original is DV, why go to uncompressed and not straight to ProRes? Uncompressed files will be huge (perhaps 7 times as large as ProRes, which is already massive) and I am not sure there will be much to gain, but I am willing to be enlightened.

Premiere won't accept new source files in slightly different formats...

I'm using CS3 (and I installed CS4 and got the same problem). I've created a video using six different source videos that were originally encoded in XVID. I now know that was a bad idea but at the time I didn't know how to convert the video so I went ahead and used them. Now my project crashes to the desktop whenever I open it without any sort of error message.
This is a project that I started over a year ago and I set it aside because I didn't want to deal with the issue, but I really want to finish this project. Now I have a better handle on what sort of codecs work well with premiere and I use Super C to convert the videos to a friendly format and I haven't had any problems with my projects crashing since then.
So now I've revisted the project that is crashing and I have tried converting the original source videos to a more friendly format, but hte problem is, even when I get it to a format that is pretty much exactly the same settings as the original (size, fps, etc) premiere won't accept it. When I open the project and it asks me "Where is the file..." I'll point to the new file and premiere tells me "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match original file's type (audio and video)".. I try this after opening the project by right clicking on the asset and choosing "link media..." but of course I get the same error message.
What i've gotten done in the project is like 10 hours worth of work and it would be a shame to lose all of it just because Premiere is too picky about switching from one media type to another .. what are my options in getting this to work?

Welcome to the forum.
Yes, Xvid is a delivery-only format for delivery-only, but you know that too.
What I would do would be to Open that original Project, and then Offline the original Video. If you named the converted files the same, except for the extension, you should be able to then Import the replacement files and manually replace those. Make sure that when you choose to Offline the Assets, that you do a Save_As, so that the original Project is NOT overwritten - keep it safe.
You might try to Relink from the Project Panel, before you do the Import. I do not know if that will be allowed, due to the extension difference, but that would be the easiest way, if it works. Try that first. With the material Offline, Rt-click on each AV file, and choose Link Media. If you used the same file names, you should be able to find the converted versions. Let us know if this works, or if you get rejected.
Good luck,
Hunt

ITunes Won't Stop Opening .wav files...

I want Quicktime to me the only app on my MacBook to open .wav files. I've got the MIME association checked in my Quicktime, but every time I go to open a .wav file, iTunes is the app that loads and plays the file.
Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks

I have a computer (my boss' of course...) that keeps grabbing .wav files with iTunes. You can do the obvious trick from Finder of Open With (QT), and Change All and it works fine. It might even work fine through one reboot. But certainly by the time he reboots twice, itunes has grabbed them all back again. AIEEEE!!! Anywhere else I'm missing to fix this?
It's a Mac pro 3.0 quad core, latest version of Leopard, etc.

File splitter won't accept some text files

sorry, this is in the wrong place is there any way i can move it to general programming?
i'm making a file splitter to split large text files into smaller parts. so far everything works as far as test files that i make, however, sometimes when i copy and paste text off the internet, for example, the splitter does not import any of the text as if it can't recognize it. what might i be able to do to get it to recognize this kind of text. the files were saved as ANSI encoding, if it matters.

}the program works perfectly for most files, but certain ones, and i'm not sure how they differ, do not get read at all. Is there a kind of text that will not get read? all files were saved with notepad.
no error is thrown on these, but the length() function returns 0.
i've also tried using scan.next() and nextByte() as well, to no success, with appropriate hasNext...() calls
if anyone's wondering, this is to make files easily accessible to ipods with 4kb text file limits on what they can show.
i am now thinking of accepting web pages as raw source and parsing out <...>

Instead of using a Scanner why not use a BufferedReader which will handle files that use either '\n' or '\r' as line terminators. After all, all you are doing is reading the file in line by line and storing into a string with out the newline character.

HELP!! iPod won't recognise some MP3 files even though they're in iTunes

I downloaded a bunch of language lessons - all 120 of them! Problem is that of the 120, about 30 will not export from iTunes to iPod. I've updated the tags, swapped around the files. Nothing is working.
For example in the first folder there are 30 MP3 files, but only 23 will migrate across to iPod. Yet I can play all of them on the computer, but not on the iPod, because it won't even recognise the 7. I've looked at the file info etc .. and its exactly the same for all 30.
I have organised all files into a playlist, and I can easily play them from the computer, and they're all there. But 30 or so are missing on the iPod. Hmmmm??
Any clues?

Hey atlangley,
Thanks for the question. It may be that these songs did not download fully, or correctly. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the songs from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Lion won´t accept ntfs harddrives? Why?

Hi,
I just updated to Lion and the only problem with the software is, that it won´t show or accept my ntfs harddrives. Why is that?
Is there any program for it, because I don´t want to formate my harddrives, 2 much stuff on it.
If someone could help me, that would be terrific.
Thanks
Florina

Mac OS X can read NTFS formatted disks, but cannot write to them. In order to add this functionality to your Mac, you'll need the assistance of some third party software or add-on. There are several different options available. Your best bet would be to do a Google search for different possibilities. I have heard a lot of good reviews about the NTFS Mounter plug-in.

IPod won't sync "too many files currently open"

Ipod won't sync to music files on external harddrive

I have too many music files to keep on my computer, so I 've got them on an external (E) drive. Itunes has no problem with that. I have my Library file on the computer (C drive) and the music files on the E drive. When I want to use Itunes to play a song from the E drive, I just click on the library listing in Itunes on the C drive and it finds the song and plays it no problem. However, my Ipod can't seem to find the files on the E drive to sync to them or download them.

Have you connected any new USB devices recently? Has the drive letter of the external drive been changed? Have you checked the external drive for errors? Does the problem persist if you power off the computer, then restart with the iPod & your external drive as the only USB devices?

Ipod won't sync...files/directory corrupted..

Hello,
I have been trying to sync my Ipod with Itunes and I keep getting an error message that says basically it can't sync because the files or directory has become corrupted and unreadable.
Searching other sites I see some mention of this issue for others, and suggestions that the issue is likely due to files being "locked" in the directory and once "unlocked" the problem goes away.
My issue is I am pretty computer dumb when it comes to locating directories and knowing what to look for and do once I am there. Also, the "fixes" I've read thus far are for folks running a Mac..I have a PC...any fixes for a PC?
Has anyone had experience with this Ipod issue, and can someone please explain to me in step-by-step directions how to get to the directory so I can look for these "locked" files?? Then what to do with them?
Thank you so much, any help is greatly appreciated!!

Premiere Pro v6.0.3 won't accept drag & dropped files from Sony's XDCAM Browser v2.1

Premiere Pro reports a "generic file import" error when I try to drag & drop my video files (.mxf) from Sony's XDCAM browser directly into Premiere Pro project window. However, I can drag & drop the same file(s) directly from a file folder on my computer and I can also use the "file import" from Premiere Pro drop down menu to import the same files with no problems.
Also, I can successfully drag & drop video files (.m2ts) from Sony's Content Management Utility into Premiere.
But why can't I drag and drop the same files (.mxf) directly from my Sony XDCAM Browser. It appears to me that my issue is related specifically to XDCAM Browser & the .mxf files it supports (note: Sony's Content Management Utility does support .mxf files so I can't simply use that Utility).
Windows 7, 64bit
CS6
Sony XDCAM Browser v2.1
Sincerely,
Joe

I try to drag & drop my video files (.mxf) from Sony's XDCAM browser directly into Premiere Pro project window.
You need to use the Media Browser within Premiere
to import these files.
Copy the entire contents of the media card to an internal drive first.

Movie importing problems (won't accept quicktime .mov files)

I have tried to import several movies, three of which are edited off of final cut pro and two which are dowloaded quicktime movies. I get the pop-up which says "Some of the videos in you iTunes library, including the video "Movie", were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because they cannot be played on this iPod." Every one of the movies has been converted into a quicktime movie and is a .mov file, which accoring to the web-site should be easily played on the iPod? Anyone know what I can do?

Even tho the files are.mov they also have to be a certain fps size (Frame Per Second). here is the exact details on what iPod supports best in the format you have
MPEG-4
File formats: .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
Video: Up to 2.5 Mbits/sec, 480 x 480, 30 fps, Simple Profile.
Audio: AAC-LC up to 160 kbits/sec, 48 Khz, stereo audio.

Im trying to add a ringtone but iTunes 11 won't accept my .m4r file

I have recently made a ringtone in Adobe Audition for my iPhone 4. Apon completion, I saved the file as .mp3, but but later changed it to .m4r. I looked threw a few discussions and tried nearly all that was suggested to me, (such as...) going to "File" "Add to Library" *Select ringtone "Add". Everybody's telling me it will add the "Tones"File but it won't add it, iTunes completely ignores what I am trying to do. I've tried going threw "Finder" and adding it manually... But iTunes still just ignores it. I'm not sure what to do at this point so I shall ask the community...

This is embarassing... Problem solved, I found another page that told me I had to go into iTunes and tell the iPhone to sync tones. I had no knowledge of this step until now, very sorry. Everyone who see's this question, please remember to do that last step. All of my ringtones work now.

Ichat won't accept or send file transfers/freezes

I am running OS X 10.7.5 on my computer here at work, the same as everyone else here. We all use ichat, and we often use file transfers. For the past year or so, if I try to accept a file transfer, ichat freezes. Recently (within the past 2 weeks), even sending images (which used to be fine) causes ichat to freeze, and the image isn't sent. Occasionally it works, but usually not. Larger files never send.
When I go to Window>File Transfers, loading this windows also causes iChat to freeze, and I have to restart. If I restart after doing this, ichat refuses to load, immediately freezing (because it is trying to load that file transfer window), and I end up having to delete the com.apple.iChat.plist file from my preferences in order to get ichat to open at all.
I have googled this issue a lot but have never found a solution. Please help!

Hi,
You List Lion (OS X 10.7.x) so that mean iChat 6.
Which service are you using ?
Bonjour, AIM or Jabber to do this ?
The AIM account, if you have one, will login to the server on port 443.
However to send Pics-in-Chats or Files then it changes to using port 5190.
It would be unusual for one computer on the LAN network to be blocked for this port.
It is possible to block it on a Mac.
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type /etc as the name of the folder.
This will open the etc folder (which is in Hard Drive Name/Private and is normally hidden)
Navigate to the Hosts files and Open With TextEdit.
It should read like this if unaltered
It would normally be used to block Servers (IP addresses) rather than specific Ports
If it is the Bonjour account try deleting the com.apple.iChat.Subnet.plist (it is in the same folder as the com.apple.ichat.plist one is).
