M4a and Mpeg Files not adding

I have been unable to add m4a and mpeg music files to my itunes library via add files/add folder. I have changed the import settings; tried all the various options. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I manage all my music and videos manually; if I check the "Sync Music" tab it will remove all existing content. I'm trying to avoid re-loading everything and since the music all shows up when I look at the phone on the mac, I'm assuming there should be a way to get it to appear on the phone as well.

"Tag Editor" for M4A and M4V Files?

I got major corruption in my music files, resulting in either 2 extra letters being inserted in the file names just ahead of the period between the file name and the extension, or the entire filename being replaced by 4 random letters. Found some tag editors that will let me repair MP3 files, by pulling tag data out of the file and using it to fix the file names. Does something like that exist for m4a and m4v files?

No, I'm not suggesting that at all, I was replying to another poster who said they couldn't add artwork to an mp4 at all.
Your equipment likely has nothing to do with this, I have a dual 4 core 3 Ghz Xeon CPU and I too have a considerable wait sometimes adding artwork to some files.
mp4 containers can hold either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10, (simple mpeg4 and AVC) and each compression type has a whole array of complexity types associated with it, much the same can be said for audio in the mp4 container.
What I'm saying is that some mp4's will take time to add artwork, some will do it straight away and there are situations where some mp4's won't take artwork. It isn't your system, your hardware or anything you are doing wrong, it's the way it is.

HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively! I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
Container & general information:
MPEG-PS: 290 Mib 4min22s
1 Video stream: MPEG video
1 Audio stream: AC-3

Please let me know where to go from here. Thanks so much!

Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

Hi - I understand I need to convert AVI and MPEG files for use within IMovie 11. I have one particular file that has a watermark stating "Created with Flip4Mac WMV Demo". Can someone please recommend the best program for a novice? Thanks!

Hi Susan,
It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
Do keep us posted please .
Cheers,
Rob

Deleting .m4a and .m4p files

I somehow managed to place a number of .m4a and .m4p files on my desktop. When I try to delete them by moving them to trash I am not allowed to do so. Message says they cannot be deleted. How do I rid my desktop of them?

Have you tried to delete the files throught the Terminal? (sudo rm ~/Desktop/*.m4*) It will request your root password and should works!

We updated our phones and now we are running out of memory. Never happened before the update and we have not added anything new. We have hardly anything on our phones.

We updated our phones and now we are running out of memory. Never happened before the update and we have not added anything new. We have hardly anything on our phones. Why am I having to remove stuff that has always been on my phone.

Thanks for the reply TJBUSMC1973.
I guess that means back to the shop. Ridiculous to sell a phone that can't handle the new iOS more efficiently (or vice versa). I can't imagine anyone going near a 5C now (I have a feeling mine had already been used and taken back once and sold as new at O2).

Video and songs downloaded not added to my list

Could someone get back to me reguarding some purchases that went through but the songs and videos were not added to my list. A couple of songs were in the process of being downloaded but we had a power outage, can you help me.

Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for purchases" command and run that. You may find the other items there to be downloaded.
If not, follow the instructions on their web page for contacting the iTunes Store. They'll probably then reset the download for those missing tracks.

Macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.?

I have burnt audio cds using external burner(itunes 8).They are on the cd as it plays in the mac but will not play on our cd player.Iread something online about macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioInterchange_FileFormat
any help please

Several possible issues.
1) Did you burn the CD as an audio format CD or did you just burn AIFF files to a CD as a data CD? CD players require an audio format CD, not just AIFF files burned to a CD as AIFF files.
2) Older CD players can have problems reading burned CDs. Sometimes using a different brand CD, a longer burn time (slower burn speed) can help, but sometimes you just have to buy a newer player. CD-RW can present big problems unless it is specified as supported.

Problems with QT 7.03 and Mpeg files

QT 7.0.3 won't play any Mpeg file on my computer. It will play all other files but not the MPEG files???? why? Also, I was getting a bluetooth audio error when I tried to play a MPEG file. Which is really wierd, I don't use any bluetooth device on my G5 iMac.

So do I !! Smooth playback is a bit of a laugh at the moment !! For MPEG 4 that is MPEG2 is fine and dare I mention it MPEG 1 is OK
I have a copy of Player 6.5.1 still on my system and they play smoothly thru this player but not the 7.03 Player and defintely NOT thru iTunes since I installed 7.03
am going back to 7.01 and see what happens
( yes I have the official Apple MPEG Playback Component added on )
they seem to play alright in VLC but out of sync in MPlayer

Maven problem: class file not added in excecutable after compilation

Hi,
I ran into the following issue.
I created a program, capable of reading an identity card from an electronic card reader. I use maven for dependency management and compilation.
The libraries used for reading the card reader are not from any maven repository. So I cheated a little bit and added the jar file to the repository myself
and created a pom file for it too in the repository. I respected the structure groupId - artifactId - version . It is something like
          <dependency>
               <groupId>be.belgium.eid</groupId>
               <artifactId>beid35JavaWrapper-win</artifactId>
               <version>3.5</version>
               <type>jar</type>
          </dependency>
The jar file and a pom file are then to be found on that location. When running the program in my development environment, everything runs fine.
But when I create an executable for this program, the class files for these libs are not added to the created executable.
questions:
1/ Do I also need to create the .sha1 file for this. If so: how?
2/ What are these .sha1 files
3/ Has anyone written a similar program, but with eid libs from maven? Which ones?
thanks for any help

try clearing cache and restarting tomcat. If you post the code that you are using to call the methods it will help to find the issue.

Premiere CS3 and mpeg files

Befor to install the CS3 version of Premier, I would know if Premiere to recognize mpeg files or must rendering it (so Premiere Pro 2)
Thanks.

Based on reading a LOT of problem reports, importing files from a DVD camcorder or other MPEG device, or Ripping DVD files rarely results in success in Premiere... do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is designed to be for PLAYBACK only... and that includes trying to edit a Standard Def MPEG or VOB file!
You should also use WAV sound files, not the compressed MP3 format, To work with AC3 files in Premiere, it MAY work to copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore DVD directory into the Premiere directory
Go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Click the internal link for editing compressed files... read
There are other products better suited to your task... but if you only have DVD type files, you should convert to DV AVI... go to the VideoHelp link in my notes and look for a program to convert
The only SD (Standard Def) files that Premiere really likes are DV AVI type 2

Mac OS 10.7 and Premiere Pro CS5 not reading AVI and DV files, not rendering to Media Encoder

Hi Folks,
I've been wrestling with these problems since I bought my Macbook Pro running Lion (currently v10.7.3). I've had video editing and DVD authoring workflows that have worked perfectly for both CS3 and CS4 with Premiere Pro and Encore. I used to be able to import DV and AVI files and render timelines to Adobe Media Encoder so I can make DVD projects in Encore but it seems there are a lot of broken bits and pieces either with 10.7 or with CS5 or both. I've tired creating new projects or re-editing CS4 Premiere Pro projects that I can still edit with CS4 on my old Macbook Pro with 10.6.8. In fact I've given up on CS5 and I've gone back to my old laptop to edit. My problems with CS5/5.5 are:
1     Can't import DV files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
2     Can't import AVI files - error message saying this is an unsupported format
3     When I export media and try to use Adobe Media Encoder (AME) the render queue doesn't respond to the files being sent from Premiere Pro (PPro). I have to render the files one at a time from within PPro. I have no idea where the queued files go but even if I have AME open it doesn't respond. In CS4 AME would open automatically and wait until I told it to render the files.
4     In Encore I've had trouble burning to DVD. I have to make an ISO file and then burn that using Toast. I'n not particularly fussed about this but while I'm unloading I may as well give you the full picture.
Basically I'm really hating this vcersion of CS5/Mac OS. Lion is like using Vista from what I can tell. On my PCs I went from XP to Windows 7 so I kinda avoided all that pain it it seems the computer gods are smiting good and proper now. I don't care whose fault it is I want Apple and Adobe to fix it or if some kind soul can share their experiences and hopefully how they fixed it I'd be eternally grateful until the next upgrade totally blindsides us all.
Thank you in anticipation --> Mal/Melboure/AU

Sorry for your troubles.
Pr 5.5.2 is still a bit persnickety for me on 10.6.8, but overall, it's still faster than FCP7 and MC6, and overall pretty dependable. Imports and plays AVI files just fine.
Lion still isn't ready for prime time, from what I've seen. Like all Mac OS releases, it probably won't be until 10.7.6 or so. And that may never happen, becuase 10.8 is purported to be just around the corner.
So, my advice is, if possible, go back to what works, 10.6.8.

External Hard drive and dmg files not mounting

External Hard drive and dmg files suddenly not mounting. Im running Mavericks on 27" iMac. Anyone have a fix or has anyone else suddenly had this problem? There was a Mavericks update a few weeks ago, but things were fine until today. This is weird. Ive checked in disk utility and can see one of my two external HD's, the one that I back up. But not even this will mount. Ive tried repairing HD thinking it was damaged but now see that all my ext hd's suddenly dont mount. Ive tried several mac restarts.

Solved the problem. My external HD is a WD (My Book Studio). I needed to install updated driver manager and this fixed it:

If you have a WD external HD goto the above link and search for your model and a list of updates will be shown, Yay!!

Jpg and gif files not showing up on recipient's email

When I attach photos on an email sent from whichever email address through my Mail Application (the one that comes with all Mac OS), sometimes people using AOL or other mail servers don't even see the files. Usually, I think all the problems are with jpg, pdf, and gif files and not .doc files or any text files. they seem to see the text files without any problems. So then Im forced to go to my gmail through safari and attach one by one. Honestly, I find the click and drag en masse of the files I want as attachments much easier, but I want to know how and what is the reason that some servers continuously cannot see my files. Sometimes they see the files as I attach them, meaning as photos on the actual email. And they get confused and don't know how to download them because they say that on the email application they use (gmail for example) there is nowhere where it says download attachments. What is going on and what can I do on my mail application to change this. its really frustrating because my work makes me email lots of photos and sometimes this problem is extremely cumbersome and annoying

Some email readers have trouble with enclosures (particularly graphics) from within an email that is formatted as Rich Text. If you format your mail as Plain Text (see the Format menu) then I expect they will see the enclosures.
