Music files online...why can't I click & listern now I've gone mac

I am very new to macs, have swapped as am studying design ...when I had my pc I could click a music files for example on a radio stations website when looking for music ( like kiss totalkiss.com ) I could click and listern to their playlists...now I've gone mac nothing will play!!! I have quicktime and use i-tunes, but can't seem to open or listern to certain files now!! Do I need to download or buy something else or are somethings just not going to work on a mac???

hi louiewoo,
it all depends on which audio file format you are trying to listen. for exemple, some audio formats are Microsoft proprietary and may not play without the proper QuickTime plugins.
I don't know about the file streaming you are trying to listen, but the most frequent are WMV. if they are, you should try to download the free plugin from Flip4Mac (http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm).

I have legally purchased and downloaded FLAC music files online, but iTunes will not recognise them. What can I do?

I have legally purchased and downloaded FLAC music files online, but iTunes will not recognise them. I'm working on a PC. Can anybody help, please?

Hi anniepat,
FLAC files do not run on iTunes. See this article for how to convert your FLAC files to iTunes compatible format:

ITunes can't locate music files THAT I CAN

Last night, when I opened iTunes, each song I clicked on gave me a "!" next to it, followed by this message:
"The song XYZ could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
Well, I know exactly where the song is, which is where all the songs are and have been for some time on my LaCie external drive. They are, in fact, still there. When I go to a music file through the Finder and double-click the file name, it plays--through iTunes--and is recognized by iTunes thereafter. I could do this for all 2,500 songs, but I have a life to live in the next three to four years.
Why is this happening and, more importantly, what can be done about it?

this can also happen anytime the external drive is not available... i have 1/2 my library on an external drive and whenever the power goes out in my neighborhood, iTunes temporarilly looses the link to the external drive... my neighborhood was built in the 1920s, and the power goes out many times a year... i use an old powerbook for my iTunes computer, which i keep plugged into my stereo... when the power hiccups, the external drive goes down, but the powerbook continues on it's battery... if iTunes or the external drive get too confused by going up and down, then i just powercycle the external drive and reboot my powerbook and everything has normally gone back to normal... the power issues are part of the reason i wanted to keep as much as i could on the internal powerbook drive... and i keep everything backed up...
anyway, i'll try you suggestion for the "option" on launch... i had to replace my external drive which finally died (from 2001)... so now i need to relink the files back to iTunes, hopefully not manually since i have about 2500 files to fix... i did copy all the files from the internal disc to the new external drive and merged the libraries, then tried using the iTunes preferences to point to the folder in the external drive... but that didn't work in my case... it still sees 1/2 of the files still in the internal drive and still has "!" for all the files on the external drive...
for tlee61, this makes me wonder if you might not need to check the iTunes preferences to see where it is looking for your files. if you set it up to store all files on the external disc, and it is set up to copy in the files to the iTunes library, then that option in the preference file for the library location might have gotten changed inadvertently... if you have iTunes set up to NOT copy in the files, and your files are in random locations on the external drive, that may be much harder to solve... i'm not positive of the best approach... i think there may be an option for iTunes to search the drives for music, like when someone installs/runs iTunes for the 1st time... but i'm not sure, off the top of my head, how to trigger that... i may be looking for that option if i can't seem to figure out another way to relink my files... but i'm afraid that it will try to either copy everything from the external drive to the internal drive, where there is no more space, or that it will try to copy the files on the internal drive to the external drive, where i've already merged the files (and eliminated some duplications)...
i very much want to keep all the metadata... so i'm hesitent to experiment blindly too much since i don't want to do something that "imports" all the songs, but looses all the metadata... in my case, it would be easier to relink the files manually than attempt to recreate all the metadata...
if i find a solution besides just manually relinking files, i'll let you know...
i expect there is a way to solve this...
luck to us both-

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

I have a document open. I clic print, then i select 'more options' to print a partiel view (or 'active view') of the document. But i want to have it 100%. When i choose the size of the document, if i select 'adjust' the scale is 73%. If a select 'real size' then i have shades at both end so i don't have the entire page. If i choose 'reduce pages to ...' i get a 73% scale and if i select personnalized scale (100%) there is still shades at both end. So what do i change to get a 100% active view? On the late version i never had that problem. Thank you.

Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

What do you mean, 'downloaded'? Take pictures where? Are you saying that you have an iPhone or iPad and you don't have enough memory for any more pictures? Adding the 10GB won't have any effect - it's extra space on the iCloud server for Documents, email, Contacts, Calendars and iPhone backup. You can't increase the memory on an iPad or iPhone by any means. If this isn't your issue please clarify what you mean.

Why can't I add narration now ?

I have added narration in the past on previous versions of Premiere elements and on Pre 10 but in the last 2 weeks I get an error when I click on the red record button I get a error message that my audio hardware selection does not have any input channels and I should go to Preferences, Audio Hardware to correct this.
I go to Preferences Audio hardware and and it shows Premiere elements WDM Sound and next box has ASIO setting. I click on these and I see no other possibilities or choices.
I still have Pre 8 loaded and the narration will not work now on it with the same error.
What could cause this after narration has always worked in the past?

Bill I believe I have answered your questions If not get
back to me and I will try. I am a Snowbird in a motorhome traveling in AZ. And
the internet comes and goes from time to time. And being a senior my computer
skills leave me at a disadvantage. I really appreciate you trying to help me.
Thank You

In Control Panel, device mgr I do not see the Logitech h 150 listed
Narration was working till about 2 weeks ago. I do not
believe I have changed anything.
A bout 3 days ago I uninstalled Premiere el 10 and Photoshop El 10 and reinstalled both, I thought that may help but no change

Welcome to the forum. What is the make/model of your mic.? What is the connection type? What is the make/model of your sound card/chip? Do you have the latest driver for that sound card/chip installed? In a program, like Windows Recorder, does the mic. work fine? In Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager, does your mic. show up with no errors, or warnings? What is the ASIO setting now? Good luck, and please let us know a bit more. Hunt

Are you trying to reinstall Firefox? If you open up Internet Explorer on your computer, can you get online? If you can't get online there then you likely have some sort of connection issue.
If you Can get online with Internet Explorer, simply go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and press the Download Now button. Click "Run" then install Firefox on your machine. If you still have troubles after installing Firefox, please let me know and we can fix those.
[[Installing Firefox on Windows|Installing Firefox on Windows]] has detailed installation information if you would like to read it.

Why can I not update my CS 6 programs to Mac OS X

I am having problems with updating the latest Updates for my CS 6 programs *here PS and Ill. fx. And the notice says to contact costumer support, but only get a few Q's and A's.
HOW do I get in direct contact (or chat/mail) with costumer service of ADOBE_

Hej again Steve
Ok sorry again
But you seem to be quite into this field. (and I've unfortunately been
'out' for a while). I used to be up to date, but now, it's all moving so
fast, and if you're away for a few years then you're (screwed)
I've been trying to get in touch with Adobe mostly for 1. update of my
programs because I seem to have a lot of 'faults' in each (crashing, screen
moving and such)
BUT 2. also because I want to join CC and with the 40% off (as I have an
original CS) but when I enter info, it will not accept my serial nr. NOW
after your guidance I came across this site which shows that I am granted a
''free'' CC. Am I reading this right. _ ? I am no idiot, but yes, in the
computer field _ I am a designer and a damn good one, but all the techichal
(that is another language _ and heck, we all have our fields_ I go to a
mechanic to get my car fixed, you?
Just smiling
Look forward to hear from you

Thank you Steve / at least it seems that I can get a ''chat'' going.
A few years ago I could mail them but now not that and no phone (or rather
when I call long distance I never get thru) what I most want is personal
contact. Because even if they list 20 or something common Q and A's mine do
not follow in on any of the categories. BUT thanks again for the link.
Maybe you can help me with others ... Just a thought
I\m trying to upgrade my PS, ID and Illustrator CS6 / and I know from
previous Adobe guidance, one should not just take the latest. I seem to be
successful with my ID (but yet to prove when I test it, which I haven't had
time to yet) BUT my PS and Ill come up with this (see attached file).
Hope you can help. Anyway, you have so far.
Because you see - I have an original CS6 and want to upgrade to CC soon.
AND they offer a 40% discount if you already have the original. BUT when I
type in my serial nr. it won't register this. I've been trying (no kidding)
for a year now, if not longer. AND this is not in one of their Q and A's
Best

HT4783 why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

why can't airdrop work between iOS (iphone) and OSX (Mac Computers)?

NNot sure if anyone help you resolve this or if it works with Mavericks but with Yosemite I couldn't send From iPhone 5 or iPad mini 2 because my Macbook Pro wasn't able to be seen via AirDrop. After a grueling 4 hours with support and factory resets of both devices I was transferred to the CPU Support team, which resolved my issue in about 3 mins. Needless to say I wasn't happy but figured I should help anyone else in the same boat as me. I have both devices operating on iOS 8 and MacBook pro rubbing Yosemite.
1. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to no one and close the finder window.
2. Go To Apple Logo -> Force Quit -> Select Finder from App List -> Force Quit.
3. Open Finder Window -> Airdrop -> Change setting for "Allow me to be discovered by:" to everyone and try to send file from iPad / iPhone to computer.
This process allowed the computer to be seen / recornized on the iOS deVice. Hope this helps.
