ITunes and AIFF/FLAC support, 24-bit music, HDTracks etc
Ok guys I know this has probably been asked before, but I have done my research and most topics are pretty old so I will proceed to ask this again so that I can get answers as of today (January 2014).
First question is, does iTunes support 24-bit music? If so, in which of these formats (ALAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF) ?
Second question, does iTunes support hi-res sample rates? If so, in which formats and how high?
Please answer in this format:
ALAC up to xxx Khz
FLAC up to xxx Khz
WAV up to xxx Khz
AIFF up to xxx Khz
Please answer only if you are 100% certain of what Im talking about here and you have tried it as you answer. This post refers to iTunes as of today, version 11.1.4 (latest release as of January 2014).
Thanks!
I ran into the same problem with my FLAC files. It's hard to compromise quality, especially for albums by Hans Zimmer, John Murphy, and Two Steps from ****, but tis life. If you're not interested in downloading some third party program to convert like I wasn't, there is this nifty little site that converts music for you for free. No ads, no tricky layouts, just simple upload, convert, and download the file when it's done. They offer a pretty limited selection of conversion options, but better than not at all.
Formats: mp3, wav, wma, ogg
Quality (kbit/s): 96, 128, 192, 320

Hope that helps!

I had to restore all the files on my pc using carbonite. I reinstalled iTunes and was able to find my music with the help of Apple support. How do I find my podcasts?
This helped, I restored them, but when I go to iTunes they are not there. Is there another step?

HT1923 if i uninstall itunes and re-install, will all my music still be there
if i uninttall itune and re-instll, will all my music still be there
Your library is preserved with the following repair process, but you ought to be routinely backing up anyway.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.

Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I downloaded music to my ipod shuffle from itunes and it still saying saying download music from itunes. But there is music on it when I hook it to the computer but it want play on the shuffle. Someone please help me.
Hello Rod2174,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod shuffle. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues transferring music to your iPod or playing music that is on your iPod, you may find the information and articles linked from the following page helpful:

i tried to delete all of my duplicate songs in iTunes and it deleted all of my music. Is there a way i get my music back?
From the backup you maintain in case something drastic happens to your collection as it surely will when your drive crashes, the computer is stolen, etc.?
Are the files in the trash? I don't let iTunes manage my music so when I delete a track I have to hunt down the file, drag it to the trash, and empty the trash in order to get rid of it. I don't know how iTunes does it for others. -
this u2 album doesnt wanna get deleted out of my phone i hid it from my itunes and switched off the the all music thing out of my music setting but 2 songs still in my playlist how do i permanently deleted out of my life period and for some reason it wont let me slide it to the left
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -
I had to restore my computer. After reinstalling itunes and sincronizing with my ipod, the music files were not organized in itunes as in the ipod: some songs were missing, some albums has no cover? Why is the sincronization not working properly?

My daughter created a new itunes and wiped out all my aps, music, etc.
A new account was created on my itunes and all of my downloads, aps, music, everything is gone....HELP!!!
Vicki,
Give her copies of the song files on a USB drive and let her add them to her iTunes library on her new computer. -
I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.

I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits. It was just working and now it wont. What is wrong? What can I do?
Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How do i access my itunes account, i had an iphone with loads of music and apps. lost it but now i have a new one given to my by my gfriend.
When i load up itunes and sign in none of my media is there in the libary. although i can see my previous purchases.
Will my account have been frozen when it was lost by orange? How do i get all my stuff back into my libary so i cant sync with my new phone?
pls helpApps and ibooks you should be able to re-download for free, assuming that they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account that you originally used to buy/download them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . Music bought from iTunes can only currently be re-downloaded if you are in the US, and I assume that you are in Carlisle here in England in which case you won't be able to re-download music.
Have you still got the purchases on your computer, or on a backup that you can copy back onto the computer and then load into iTunes ? -
I've purchased several comedy albums on itunes (or uploaded from my cd collection) and itunes stores them in the music file. I prefer not to have them stored there since I often put my ipod on shuffle all songs and I hate having comedy bits pop up. So I went into "get info" of each track and changed it from music to audiobooks. That transfered everything into audiobooks but when I synched my ipod, I realized that the comedy tracks are all listed individually instead of under their albums. This doesn't work obviously since I want to listen to the album as a whole. I was wondering if there's a way to store my comedy albums in my audiobooks but have them stay in album format. Can anyone help me on this?
Try posting in a more appropriate forum, as this has noting to do with itunes U - the place where University/college/museums post education material.

i bought anastacia's "cowboy's & kisses" video from itunes and now it is gone, erased from my music library! it's not on the imac, or my ipad! where is it? i paid good money for it! these are tough times i want it back! i'm not going to pay for it again!
You shouldn't have to pay again. Log into iTunes with the same detail you used to purchase the original music and you should be able to download it again.
If you meet a further problem go to ... http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store. -
