ITunes says I must use multiple CDs for a 40MB file

The subject says it all. I have a mono audio file that is 43mb. When I try to burn it in iTunes it insists that it needs multiple CDs. This is impossible. A CD can hold 600+MB. I assumed it was a false message, but true to its word it only burned about two-thirds of the file. The playtime is around 3 hours, but that does not matter. Forty-three MB is 43MB. Can anyone tell me how to burn audio files without using rinky-**** software like iTunes? Maybe use Toast? iTunes 7.2, OS 10.3.9
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for your help; I'll convert it to an MP3 and I'll be good to go!
I'm curious as to why a 43MB file balloons to what must be 1gig when iTunes saves it? The disk does not know what the data are, it just sees a series of 1s and 0s. An analogy can be made with photography. Certainly only two, 300mb photographs can fit on a CD. It does not matter if they are 5M x 5M or 5cm x 5cm for a print size. All that matters is the digital size. Conversely, you can fit 600 1mb photos on a CD, again, regardless of the print size.
Similarly, the amount of time an audio file will fit on a CD must also be inversely proportional to its digital size. If the audio has a low enough bit rate it three hours should fit easily on a CD. I don't recall what mine was, but 3 hours at 43mb must be a pretty low rate.
Consequently, iTunes must be inflating its files by almost 20 times the file's original size! I find this type of wasteful formating to be incredibly stupid. What is Apple thinking?
Thanks again,

    You can either burn it to a CD or DVD from within iTunes, or back up the entire iTunes library as you would any other folder.

  • TS3274 iPad says connect to iTunes, iTunes says I must unlock iPad, cant unlock iPad.

    I cannot use my iPad. Whenever i turn it on, the on screne picture has the usb pointing to and iTunes symbol, meaning connect to iTunes. Whenever i connect my iPad to my compture, iTunes says i must unlock my iPad before it can sync. i have a password on my iPad, but cant seen to get to the passcode screne..any help at all? i do not care about anything on the iPad, it can all be erased!

    Try this now. Quit iTunes, restart the computer and restart the iPad as well and then try again. If that still doesn't work, you could try using another computer - especially if you don't care about erasing the iPad.
    Recovery mode can be finicky, don't give up, keep trying a few more times.

  • SSP5: Using multiple JVM for load balance performance?

    Sun 12 MAY 2002
    Apps 11.0.3
    SSP5 patchset I
    HP UX 11.0
    db 8.1.7.2 (64-bit)
    Load 60 concurrent sessions, each spawning 2.5 - 3 http connections.
    CPU 3:750Mhz
    RAM 8G
    Is anybody using multiple JVM for load balance?
    What is your ratio of JVM to concurrent iP sessions?
    Are you running Apache/Jserv on a server with any other applications, or is Apache by itself?
    If you are not using JVM, how many httpd processes do you get before Apache implodes? We stopped in the water at 90 httpd processes, but performance degraded starting at 70 sessions.
    Thx - Don

    Using Web Cache to load balance servlet-based Forms (6i and 9i) is unofficially supported. I say "unofficially" because we have actual customers doing it and getting support, but the 2 development teams (Forms and Web Cache) haven't actually done any integration testing of this sort of configuration yet. For your case, please contact your Support rep and ask what was done to use Web Cache as a load balancer for Forms6i at METRO in Germany. The Forms product managemment team is writing up a white paper to describe how to do it, but until then, you'll need to go through Support. Please contact me if you want more information.

  • How to use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query

    Hi,
    Is there any way that we can use multiple hierarchies for a single char in single query. I tried and it just allows me to select one hierarchy even if I use hierarchy variable.
    I have a requirement where user wants to see information related to a cost center with different cost center groups in different hierarchies (every year has different cost center group hierarchies).
    Suppose I want to see information related to a cost center from year 2001-2004.in these four year cost center may have been associated to different groups depending upon that year hierarchy. How can I do that?
    Thanks
    Jona

    Nope. Now way to do this.
    There is always just one hierarchy assigned to a characteristic. And even if the hierarchy was time dependent, it only reads it for one key date and not according to transaction data.

    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

    Create a dummy contact on your new PC in Outlook.  In iTunes, elect to synch your contacts with Outlook.  You will be prompted to "merge" your contacts.  Once done and all your contacts are on your computer in Outlook, you can delete the "dummy" contact.

    Two things that are not clear

    Anyone with experience?
    I think what you mean is that it's not possible for two Macs to access the same iTunes library (ie. the same collection of media files) at the same time. From my research, this seems to be the case, and that's not my issue.
    In my particular situation -- one that i'm sure is shared by many others -- my partner and i have separate user accounts on the same Mac, +entirely sharing a single iTunes Library+ (ie. same media files, same playlists, etc., as if we were a single user) and as long as we remember to quit iTunes whenever we walk away from the Mac (allowing the other to log in and launch iTunes and access our common library), this is not a problem.
    And that is when my particular problem arises: when we launch iTunes, we are often asked to choose a Library (a series of navigations that my partner isn't entirely comfortable with), and occasionally the Data folder on the TimeCapsule is unavailable.
    As for the wireless connection to our library, this has not so far proven to be an issue. Depending on what other activities are going on at the time (ie. TimeMachine backups or background Internet activity, i presume), i have only rarely experienced brief interruptions in music streaming from the TimeCapsule (<1 second). In fact, last night, we watched a movie on the laptop, with the file streaming from the TimeCapsule, and it only hesitated a few times, and again for less than a second.

  • How to use multiple classes for each form

    Hi,
    I have created two forms using screen painter and now i want to use different classes for these two forms .
    I have declared the Sbo Connection in main class i.e. Set Application ,Connection Context() but while connecting to other classes
    for executing the code for that form SAP is not connected to that class.How to use multiple classes functionality i don't able to
    do that.Please provide some sample codes for that as it will be more helpful for me to understand.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Amit

    Hi Amit,
    In fact, its more advisable to use separate classes for every form that you use.  Have one common class, say, for eg., clsMain.cs which has all the connection and connectivity to other classes, wherein, the menu event and item event of this main class, will just be calling the menu / item event of other classes.
    The individual functionality of the child classes will be called from the item / menu event of the respective classes.
    Item event in clsMain.cs will be as below.
    private void oApplication_ItemEvent(string FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
                SAPbouiCOM.Form oForm;
                BubbleEvent = true;
                try
                    if ((pVal.FormTypeEx == "My_Form1Type") && (pVal.EventType != SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_UNLOAD))
                        oForm = oApplication.Forms.GetForm("My_FormType", pVal.FormTypeCount);
                        NameSpace.Repots.ClsForm1.ClsForm1_ItemEvent(oApplication, oCompany, oForm, ref pVal, ref BubbleEvent);
                    if ((pVal.FormTypeEx == "My_Form2Type") && (pVal.EventType != SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_UNLOAD))
                        oForm = oApplication.Forms.GetForm("My_FormType", pVal.FormTypeCount);
                        NameSpace.Repots.ClsForm1.ClsForm2_ItemEvent(oApplication, oCompany, oForm, ref pVal, ref BubbleEvent);
    Now, in the individual classes, you can have their respective item events, which will be called from the main class, and the respective functionalities will occur.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Satish.

  • A Cocoa window which is used multiple times (for instances of a class)

    Hi everyone,
    I develop with newest xCode using Obj-C, Java and Cocoa.
    It works perfectly to create a window and connect it to some code: I just design it, and connect it to a class which has been instantiated previously.
    What I need now is a window, which is used multiple times. Means that I create a class where the window should be connected to, from which I create multiple instances.
    I've seen that it works to create a class in Obj-C and just generate the window by code: it works to generate multiple windows. But how would I be able to design a window with InterfaeBuilder for a class which is not yetinstantiated? A class for which I create the instances while my app is running?
    Thanks a lot for your answers!
    -Lucas

    Like PeeJay says, a custom window controller seems the way to go. Try creating a subclass of NSWindowController, with header something like this:
    #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>
    @interface MyWindowController : NSWindowController
    IBOutlet NSTextField *infoField;
    -(void)setInfoText:(NSString *)str;
    @end
    The implementation of the setInfoText would be something like:
    -(void)setInfoText:(NSString *)str{
    [infoField setStringValue:str];
    Create a nib file with your window in interface builder. Drop the header file for your custom window controller into the interface builder window. Set the custom class of the nib's File's Owner to MyWindowController. You can then hook up the window and infoField outlets from File's Owner to your window.
    In the body of your code where you open a new info window, add something like:
    MyWindowController *windowController=[[MyWindowController alloc] initWithWindowNibName:@"nameOfWindowNibFile"];
    [windowController setInfoText:@"Whatever"];
    [windowController showWindow:self];
    If you are going to have an undetermined amount of these custom window, it might be a good idea to store the window controller instances in a mutable array, rather than retaining instance variables for each one.
