Just Updated iTunes - No Longer Able to Convert Apple Lossless Format

I just installed the newest version of iTunes, version 9.1.0.79. I have a bunch of songs in the lossless .m4a format and I would like to convert them (or at least create versions of them) that are in mp3 format. The simple right click menu in the new version of iTunes no longer includes the option to convert anything! My iPod does not have the capacity to hold too many of these songs, how can I convert them to mp3 to actually use them? Is this feature permanently removed? I would rather not have to download and install an older version of iTunes just for this purpose.

The simple right click menu in the new version of iTunes no longer includes the option to convert anything!
The option is still under the Advanced menu. It is simply removed from the right click contextual menu.
iTunes 9.1 has the option to automatically convert to 128 kbps for all iPods now (instead of only the iPod shuffle).
Select the Summary tab.
No need to convert before loading the iPod.

  • Just updated Itunes to 11.1.4.62 and no longer synchs to iphone

    Just updated Itunes to 11.1.4.62 and no longer synchs to iphone. Did reinstall, removed old itunes, rebooted, rebooted phone, stopped ipod service, started ipod service. Every variation fails to show iphone 4s in new itunes update. Really getting fed up with itunes and updates that cause more drama than benefits. If this continues I will switch to Android Windows 8, not vista as listed below

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • HT2736 I just updated iTunes and I don't see the option to gift the app? what gives?

    I just updated iTunes and I tried to gift an app from my PC. The options is no longer selectable. What gives?

    OK, so it sounds like you are trying to do the gift on your Mac. I also tried it on my Mac with an App I had already purchased, and you are right - it doesn't give you the option to gift it....on the Mac. I looked up the App you were asking about, and based on what I could see in the iTunes Store for Apps, and on your indication that you have an iPhone 4, it appears that this is an iPhone app?
    If it is, then you can gift it (even if you have purchased it) via the iPhone App Store (I tested this with my purchased app that showed no "gift" option on my Mac). Click on the App Store on your phone, do a search for your app, then click on the share option at the top right hand corner. When I tried this on my iPhone using the same app that I had looked for in iTunes on my Mac, it came up with a window that had the "Twitter/Email/Facebook/etc. options, but it also had a "Gift" option.
    So, try to gift it via your App Store app on your phone.
    Hope you have the same results I did!
    P.S. I have also sent in a support ticket to iTunes Store Support for this - clearly there is an issue.... (sorry about the misunderstanding - it doesn't work the way it is supposed to!)

  • I just updated itunes on my mac and all of my icloud movies and tv shows are missing. Basically everything that wasn't on my computer isn't showing as available for download.

    I just updated itunes on my macbook air and when I click on the movies or tv shows tabs in my library everything that was previously stored on icloud is now missing. This is $K's worth of stuff and I can't find any information on how to retreive it.

    We are having this same issue.  We have over 200 songs that are now missing and only our most recent ones show up in our ITunes library.  Fortunately we have one phone that still has all of our music still in tact. This phone is no longer one I will be using as I upgraded to the Iphone 6, and only the most recent purchased songs remain.  The rest are no where to be found and the iTunes store shows that I would need to re-purchase.  Not sure what to do as when I tried to sync my last phone, all the songs were gone.

  • HT1338 JUST UPDATED ITUNES AND IS ERRATICALLY WORKING

    just updated Itunes software and it is behaving erratically , I keep getting the spinning color  wheel and Syncing to my Ipad is taking forever, I have the Mountain Lion software installed , is it compatiable with the new Itunes update?

    When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
    It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
    You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
    Or you can try this.
    No power adaptor? Try this.
    Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.

  • I just updated Itunes to the newest version and now my entire song library is saying 'can't play this song because original file can't be found'.  ***??

    I have no idea what happened!?  I just updated Itunes on my macbook and now my entire song library won't play.  When I click on a song it says it can't play because it can't find the original file.  How is this possible?  The original files are on my computer.  I just upgraded!! HELP!!

    The only thing I can think of is that you deleted these files off your computer without using iTunes to do it. Or maybe you backed up your computer to a previous state to where these song files didn't exist? The last one doesn't even make sense to me unless you used Time Machine to do it. But those are the only things I can think of.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s

    I just updated itunes to 12.1 and now it won't sync or show my iphone 5s.. I have tried EVERYTHING. I completely uninstalled & reinstalled my itunes 2 times. Everything is completely up to date, and when I plug my iPhone into the computer, it makes the normal beep sound, and charges, but will not sync or show on iTunes so that I can sync anything..

    Hey ksooter,
    I know you have said you have tried everything but have you tried out some of the troubleshooting in the article below? For instance, have you checked the Apple Mobile Device support is installed properly and if the Apple Mobile Device is installed? Take a look at the article below to double check some of the things you have done to see if you can get your iPhone to show back up.
