Many issues trying to get an audio file on my iphone

I tried the "drag and drop" method but it does not drop my file (which is a .wav file). I have tried changing the preferences to encode into .mp3 and vice versa but it won't work. Also if I click the button that says "Scan for Music" it doesn't do anything. Nothing pops up. However, when I click Itunes it works... figures. Sorry apple but you aint getting a dolla out of me. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's a DRM protected wav file, you won't be able to convert it to MP3. Changing the preference you mentioned has absolutely no effect on existing media, it only affects new music you rip from CDs.
Convert it to an MP3 file, import the file to iTunes, then sync it to the phone.

How can I get an audio file on my iPhone without a computer?

I have no computer with me and I need to save an mp3 audio file in my email to the iPod part of my iPhone. Is it possible to do that without my computer that I use to sync my iPhone to?

No, it has to be imported to iTunes and synced to your phone.

Also if you have imported them then this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs

the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free

Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod gen 2 , not appearing

Trying to get a audio book onto my ipod, doesn't seem to want to download

Heather,
Can you first verify that you have configured the iPod to sync audiobooks from your iTunes library? To do this, plug the iPod into your computer, and then when it appears in iTunes, select it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This shoud bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.
Now in the main section/window of iTunes look for the Books tab along the top and click on it. Under this tab you can configure how and what audiobooks are synced to your device. Before making any changes, first verify that the Sync Audiobooks option is ticked at the very top.
If you do make any changes from under this tab, be sure to click the Apply button in the lower right to sync the updates changes to the iPod.

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac

I am trying to get pages docs created on my iPhone onto my iMac. I have iTunes 10.5 and the help docs says that in iTunes the Pages app should automatically list the docs on my iPhone. I am using the 'send to iTunes' option in the 'share and print' menu but no files appear in iTunes (the iPhone is connected and recognised by iTunes). Any ideas? The docs don't mention that I need a particular version on Pages on my Mac.
Any help gratefully recevied.

Dear Peter,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked at the discussion you highlighted. Unfortunately, it does not really deal with the issue I am experiencing. The discussion concerns problems with iCloud. I am not attempting to use iCloud to transfer files.
The discussion does mention using iTunes to first back up the files. However, the correspondent does not mention the problem I am experiencing. I understand from the help docs that when I after I have synced my iPhone, then the files I have created using Pages should be listed in the Apps part of iTunes. However, this does not seem to be so on my computer. The files do not appear even when I use the 'send to iTunes' option.
Is there something I am missing?
Any further help gratefully received,
Andrew

Hi,
I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
I reset both my Apple ID and password.
When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
Any suggestions??

Connect phone to computer.
Select Restore.
Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

HT4623 I am trying to get my contacts of an old Iphone. It show the Itunes logo and the usb portion of the plug in cord. How can I get that to go away so I can get my old contacts off of it?

I am trying to get my contacts of an old iphone 3. It show the Itunes logo and the usb connector of the phone charger. How can I get that off the phone and access my contacts.
Ideas anyone?

You need to plug it in to iTunes. Once it starts working again, back up the old iPhone to iCloud then go to iCloud in settings. Turn on contacts then you get them back. Another option is to back up to iTunes with the old one, then on the new one, go on iTunes, click restore backup, and choose the old iPhone. I suggest using icloud. Hope it helps!

Getting prompt "Audio file "Male Voice#16.aif" not found", upon app startup

Hi -
I've been using GarageBand for podcasting for the last couple of years. But it seems to be acting funky:
For the last couple of uses, I've gotten the prompt "Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found." Where would this file be found? I went as far as to try reinstalling but it didn't work.
This morning, while trying to record bumpers, I recorded my voice, only to find it recording at a much deeper register than usual. I had no effects on it, but it sounded as though the pitch was being bent somehow. Also, while recording my voice, I usually have the monitor on (while listening through headphones), and couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
Any ideas on how to fix these issues?
I'm not sure if the two things are related, or not. I just need to get it fixed. I've tried reinstalling, to no avail.

"Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found."
did you copy and paste between projects?
recording at a much deeper register than usual.
what equipment are you using?
couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
were any tracks soloed or muted? have you deleted any tracks?

Assistance needed in trying to import MP3 audio file into Slide Show

I get the following message when trying to import an MP3 audio file into a slideshow in Organizer 9 "The selected file can not be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor(codec) installed. I am pulling the file from my Itunes folder and I have not had problems with any other file I have downloaded from itunes and changed to an MP3 format. Does anyone have any ideas? I really want to use this song in a slideshow for my parents 50th Anniversary.

Best GUESS is that DRM is getting in the way of the file being used outside of iTunes (DRM = Digital Rights Mgmt = Copy Protection)

Trying to make .mov audio file from Mac workable on PC

So I took some files off of a Mac that I believe were imported directly from a mini DV tape. The files on the Mac were listed as .mov. Now when i open the drive up containing the files on a PC, they have no extension. I converted the larger file containing the video and managed to make it usable. The smaller file, obviously containing the audio, is proving to be an issue. I tried renaming it .mov and importing into Premiere, but it doesnt work in there. I tried converting it with audio converter programs and it just makes a 0 byte file. If anyone knows how I'd be able to make this usable that'd be great.

I do not have a Mac, so not 100% sure of this... but
On Windows, capturing from miniDV tape creates a SINGLE file of the DV AVI flavor with an AVI file extension
As far as I know, a tape captured via Mac also creates a SINGLE file, containing DV AVI inside a MOV wrapper
If you have 2 files, with video in one and audio in the other, my understanding is that those files are not direct captures from tape... something else was done to the original file to then create 2 files
But, as I said, I don't have a Mac... so maybe someone else who does have a Mac and captures from miniDV will add to this discussion
Back to the Windows side... what version of Quicktime do you have installed?
In general, MOV files will open in PPro-Windows if you have Quicktime installed
As far as no extension... that COULD be a Windows configuration issue, since it is possible to tell Windows to "hide" file extensions
Finally, exactly what is inside that MOV wrapper?
