MPEG files showing instead of MP3

Hi All
Newbie here so apologies if this is an easy one to fix.
My iTune 10 is showing all my mp3s as MPEG which means I dont have a "convert to AAC" option when I right click the song?
Is this some kind of bug or corruption?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
MP3 is shorthand for MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3. iTunes gives the Kind of MP3 files as MPEG Audio.
Check your import settings. You'll only get a *Convert to <Format>* option if the import settings are set to a different format from the file in question. My guess is that your import settings are currently set to MP3.

Can MediaSource display MP3 file name instead of MP3 tag information? ; Playlist default locat

?I am using Creative MediaSource Player 5.0.38 as an MP3 player on my computer:?. Can we get MediaSource to display mp3 file names instead of mp3 tag information when file is being played as part of a Playlist???2. Playlists are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\
or if not logged in as Administrator:
C:\Documents and Settings\[name of your account]\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\?Unlike with Creative PlayCenter, default location of Playlists cannot be changed in Windows registry.?Is there any?way to change Playlist default location?
??3. If Shuffle play mode is selected, MediaSource will still always play the first file on the Playlist? and only then switch to shuffle mode. I found a workaround for this because old PlayCenter 2 had this problem, is this a known bug that they still haven't fixed after all these years???Message Edited by c627627 on 04-6-200706:33 PM

Hi,
I understand you want to place description of Content type as refiner in Search Refinement.
Without coding, you may considering adding a column for description and use this column as refiner.

Saving as .mp3 file, but file shows up as .wav

Been using AA 3.0.1 a long time, but can't explain why this is happening. I usually save a song as a wave file, no problem, but then I do a "save copy as", in order to make an mp3 of the song, but now my choice to save is this:
mp3PRO (FhG) (*.wav,*.mp3).
First off, I don't ever recall the *.wav ever being part of the file extension along with *.mp3. Secondly, after I save the file the song shows up as "mysong.wav", instead of "mysong.mp3", but looking at the file size, around 5k for a 256kbps that runs around 2:30, makes it look to be saved as an mp3 file...a wav file size would be around 25000kb.
So, it looks like it's being saved as a .mp3 file, but showing that it was saved as a .wav file.
How the heck did this happen, and what can I do to make sure that the publisher I'm sending an .mp3 file to, is actually getting an .mp3 file, and won't have any trouble opening it??
Another crazy thing to mess with me and use up what little time I have...
Harry

Usually because an mp3 has been saved accidentally with .wav left at the end of the name, a fairly common occurrence. Just do an mp3 Save As again and actually type .mp3 on the end of the name. This should correct Audition's adding .mp3 to the end of saved mp3s automatically again.
I suspect that your saved file is in fact an mp3 so just rename it correcting the suffix.

When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?

When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

I alse set this parameter in session level.

Can you post the query for which the bind variable values are not being shown and the trace output for the same?
Probably it is listed down somewhere when you actually executed the query among the others. Try completely analyzing your trace file..

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^ and why wont the music files play anymore??

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled.
Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.

Mpeg-files to mp3-files

I have imported MPEG-files to itunes. Now I would like to convert them into mp3-files in order to use them in my ipod, how can I do that? I tried several ways but it doesn't seem to work out well.
Please help me, I don't have time to import the music all over again befor my vacation!
Thank you!

If you have imported the mpegs into iTunes, and they will play there, you need only select the files you wish to convert, click Advanced, and choose Convert to MP3 (you'll need to select MP3 as the format for importing from CD first, from the iTunes preferences, under Advanced, and Importing, or it won't be an option in the Advanced menu).

"more info" in Get Info showing "--" instead of actual infos for newer videos and images

I've just noticed that when I click on "Get Info" on my newer pictures and videos, the "more info" section is now showing "--" instead of the dimensions of the images and videos. However when I go to my older files, the info is showing. Also if I search any of the newer files (those with the missing info) in Spotlight, it doesn't show up. I've done some research and some people suggest reindexing Spotlight, but that never worked for me. In fact, even if I exclude a folder in my Privacy list, it's still showing as a result when I search them. I'm sure this is a problem with Spotlight as it stores the dimensions info, but since reindexing it is not a solution, can it be solved in some other way?

It takes time on newer things, but might have to be opened first or something.
If you want, you can clear the caches with OnyX (#12) and that would rebuild and repair the entire sub-system.

.xmp files showing up in my SD card when accessing RAW files in Finder... Very weird!

Hi,
I'm having a very weird problem... I'm using a 4GB Scandisk SD card and am shooting my RAW photos on a Canon Rebel 2ti. I'm using a Macbook Pro, 2011 2.3Ghz i5, 4gb of Ram, with Lion v. 10.7.2 and am accessing the SD card RAW files through Finder. I'm secondary clicking on the image file or double clicking them as PS is my default opening program for RAW files. When I hit the "Done" key on any of the Photoshop files, a new .xmp file shows up in Finder. When I open it, it's a Microsoft Messenger for Mac 8 License Agreement...
I do have Microsoft Office 11 installed and have never used Messenger. It's not a huge deal, but it's driving me crazy and it's totally weird!
Thanks,
-Dave

It's a lot of separate, unrelated things happening to you in one long chain, but each step is normal and explainable.
You are opening raw files straight from a card into Photoshop. Photoshop will open them in Camera Raw. Camera Raw's preferences are set to save changes in XMP sidecar files. You are clicking Done, which applies the default Camera Raw processing, and that change generates an XMP file to store these new settings. That's why an XMP file is showing up in the same folder. On a computer, that's fine. But writing back out to a camera card with a device other than the camera is not recommended. What is recommended is to use another, faster way to preview raw files on a card without changing them (Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, Apple Aperture, Photo Mechanic, etc.), so that the card's left untouched as it should be.
If you don't want the XMP file to be generated, you have to do just one of the following:
In Camera Raw preferences, change the "Save image settings in" option to "Camera Raw database", not "Sidecar XMP files".
Instead of clicking Done every time, which applies any changes, click Cancel instead, if you were just looking and not editing.
Use something other than Photoshop to preview raw files. Most of the other ways are faster than opening them in Photoshop. The recommended workflow is to use a camera downloading utility to look through all the images on the card at once (instead of one by one as you are doing), and then select only the ones you want to bring into your computer. Bridge (via File > Get Photos from Camera, not by browsing), Lightroom, Aperture, and iPhoto all have that capability.
As to why double-clicking an XMP file opens a Messenger license agreement: As you probably know, the system has to figure out what program should open a file with a given filename extension. It sounds like maybe both Adobe and Microsoft have used the XMP extension, and the Office installer probably associated it with some type of MS Messenger file. So when you double-click an XMP file, Mac OS X opens Messenger. Since you have not used Messenger before, it's showing you the "first run" screen for Messenger, and Microsoft has set it up so that you have to click Agree on the license agreement before using it. If you never click Agree, it will still be the "first run" next time you open Messenger, whether you meant to or not. You can use Get Info in the Mac Finder to reassign XMP to open in another program.
You probably didn't expect so many things to happen from just opening a raw file off a card, but that's the way it worked out.

SID Showing instead of friendly name after renaming the server

I had to rename a windows 2012 R2 server and after I rename it, Sever is showing SID instead of user friendly name.
Even when I try to add new domain group or user in any resourse of this server, the friendly name disappear, soon after I hit apply button.
So far I have done the following
disjoin/rejoin - same result
disjoin >delete AD account > Rejoin - same result
I confirm that I have see the new server name in AD. DNS is OK too. Could find anything (i think) related to this problem.
I can see the following errors
1. The server {9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. EVENT ID 10010
2. The processing of Group Policy failed. Windows could not determine if
the user and computer accounts are in the same forest. Ensure the user
domain name matches the name of a trusted domain that resides in the
same forest as the computer account. . Event ID 1110
3. Netloon server could not add the autZ RPC interface. The service
was terminated. the following error occured. " Not enough sesources are
available to compete this operation Event id 5820
4. The UAC file Virtulatization service failed to start due to the
following error: This driver has been blocked from loading.Event ID 7000
I have not deleted the computer account in the second time. Then
rejoin but this time i didn't get the message but the issue with SID
showing instead of friendly name is still there. These are related , i
can see
I can see the server in the domain and DNS also updated.

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
First Video Stream:
8833 Kbps, 720*480 (4:3), at 29.970 fps, MPEG video (NTSC) (version 2) (Main@main) (Custom Matrix BVOP)

Files Say They're MP3s But Are Burning As AIFFs

this is very weird. i converted some files from AIFF to MP3s in iTunes. i even checked "Get Info" for these converted files, and it says they are MPEG files.
however, i created a playlist, again checked "Get Info" to confirm they are mp3s, which they are.
but when i burnt them to a CD, they become AIFF files.
why on earth is this happening? i've never had this problem before. i want to be able to play them in a CD player.

As noted iTunes will burn the disc format selected in your iTunes burning prefs. If you select AIFF then it will burn the mp3 or any other file as an AIFF which is playable on any regular CD player.

I can't import aiff files into itunes as mp3s

I am trying to add some aiff files from an external hard drive to my itunes library. My import settings have mp3 checked under the advanced preferences and I am using the File>add to library command. When the files show up in my itunes library, they are still aiff files. I can then convert them to mp3 under the advanced tab, but I shouldn't have to go through this extra step. Is there a way to change this?

No. If you add MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF or WAV, iTunes will simply add them to the library.
In order to convert them, you have to do it after you add them to the library.
