My downloaded files say .m4a - what happened to .mp3?

I have a Dell PC running on Windows Vista. On this laptop, I have iTunes application for downloading music. I also have a Wondowsphone 8. I'm trying to copy my downloaded music from my PC to my phone, but am having trouble. I copied and pasted my music files in the file explorer windows, but the phone does not recognize the files at all. The file extensions on the music say .m4a, but one friend says that they should be .mp3.
SO- the bottom line is: how do I get my Windows phone to play the music I bought on iTunes?
(and no, buying an iPhone is not currently an option...)

Your friend is incorrect and you do not need to convert them to mp3.

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

  • If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ?

    If I delete a file in iCloud, what happens to the local file in ~/Library/Mobile Documents ? Does it get deleted to?
    Hope somebody can help.
    Thx.

    I'm pretty certain that it gets deleted as well. If you try and open that mobile documents folder, it takes you to the iCloud drive folder. I've been searching for this same issue for the last 24 hours also as I inadvertently deleted my Keynote files stored on iCloud drive thinking I was just temporarily deleting Keynote from my iPad when upgrading to the latest iOS 8 version. (I needed space and thought, "Oh, I'll just reinstall later... Turns out I was in the iCloud storage area, not in my iPad storage area at the time and therefore deleted all my iCloud stored presentations. From every device.)

  • Can you  say internally what happens?

    String s1 = new String("ABCDEF");
    String s2 = new String("ABCDEF");
    if(s1==s2){
    s.o.pln("true")
    }else
    s.o.pln("false")
    } here it gives false
    String a="xxxxx";
    String b="xxxxx";
    if(s1==s2){
    s.o.pln("true")
    }else
    s.o.pln("false")
    } here it gives true

    I'm not completely certain about this, but based on some of the Java certifications facts, this is what I believe it happens:
    For:
    String s1 = new String("ABCDEF");
    String s2 = new String("ABCDEF");What happens first is that when the code reaches the first object creation, it FIRST creates the String "ABCDEF" and places it on the java pool of Strings, then your two String references (s1 and s2) points to a new String object which has a reference to the "ABCDEF" String.
    A more graphical representation would look like
    [String s1] ---> [String obj] ---\         //Pool
                                      \------ [ "ABCDEF" ]
    [String s2] ---> [String obj] ---/So, when you compare s1 to s2 using the "==" operator (you are comparing the references, not the value) it returns false,
    because s1 and s2 point to different objects, even though they have the same value.
    Now
    For:
    String a="xxxxx";
    String b="xxxxx";What happens is that when the code reaches the first object creation, it FIRST creates the String "xxxxx" and places it on the pool, then both references (a, b) point directly to that String object in the pool.
    Graphically:
    [String a] ---\         //Pool
                   \------ [ "xxxxx" ]
    [String b] ---/So now, both, a and b point to the same object and that is why the comparison using the "==" operator returns true.

  • Downloads doesn't work after I downloaded V3.6.3 - What happened?

    Ever since I downloaded FFV3.6.3, nothing downloads from the internet and nothing ever shows up in my Downloads window. I've since downloaded each new version and still have the problem. I'm currentlly using V3.6.8
    This is my work computer, so we do have security firewalls, etc. However, I know Downloads works on other computers, as I've asked fellow coworkers if they are having problems. No one else seems to be having this problem. As I said, up to and including V3.6.2, my download manager works just fine.
    Please help. I need to be able to download files without having to open them and then manually save them somewhere. That's just too big a PITA to deal with.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I've had this request for support up now for 2 weeks and have heard nothing. Do I have the question in the correct place? Do I need to post it elsewhere also? Or, is this website just that unresponsive to requests for help. I'm very frustrated with this problem, and would really appreciate some help. Anyone, please? Buehller?

    This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
    I assume you are using Windows.
    If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

  • File damaged? What happened? I can't open it anymore!?

    Hi,
    I have a bit of a problem. I own Adobe Premiere pro. I have edited a film about my vacation, it is about 2 hours long. I can't open it anymore, it was completely exported and done. But now it just shows a black screen in the exported file. Why? So than I was like, well I'll just open the premiere file in premiere and then I'll just export it again. Well that didn't work. In premiere it says that the file is damaged, so I can't open it..
    Have I just lost my 2 hour long film? I didn't save it anywhere els because I thought that it was already saved and that I didn't have to worry about it.. I wanted to save it on a dvd and thats when I found out that it was gone.. I still have all the lose clips accept for 1 but that can't be the problem, can it?
    I can send abode the file via email so that they can maybe, hopefully help me?
    You could say that I am mad and sad.. If you can't help me I'll have to edit the 199 clips all over again.. sh*t...

  • Cannot download files in IE

    I cannot download files similar to what is described in this question.... <Microsoft blocked the link>
    I am using Win 7 and IE 11.  When I try to download files, like WinRAR <Microsoft blocked the link> or Firefox <Microsoft blocked the link>.  Files get renamed.  For the winrar example the file gets renamed to "dl_". 
    Most of the time only the dot before the exe gets renamed but as you can see with the WinRAR example, that is not always the case.
    Executables are not the only culprit.   I think the problem happens when the download is initiated by the website, versus right clicking on an img and downloading.  I use TaxAct and the problem happens when trying to download non-executable
    files from there.  I can only assume that the files are pdf's but the rename of the file prevents me from knowing what type of files they are.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you can successfully download these files but these files are not useful or broken? Did you see any message prompted? When did this issue happen? Did you make any changes before?
    What is the security level of your IE? Go to Tools\Internet Options\Security\Interbet or trusted site, see the security level, set it to the default level.
    Clear the history of IE,  run a security scan to make sure the safety of your system, change the location of the downloads, test the result again.

  • HT4914 What happens to my original music?

    what happens to my original music files on my computers an iPxx devices when I subscribe it ITunes Match? Do they get deleted?  Do I have to download them again?  What happens when I have no internet connection?  Can I not listen to my music?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume you are talking about non-purchased music here.
    Any non-purchased music on your computer that is recognised by iTunes match will be matched in the cloud from the iTunes Store, this will then be available to all your devices. However the original file will stay on your computer unless you delete it and then download the iTunes version from the cloud.
    Any no-npurchased music on your computer that isn't recognised by iTunes match will be uploaded to the cloud, it is that version that will then be available to your other devices using iTunes match.
    When you have no Internet connection, you will only be able to play the content which resides in your library. Depending on your requirements, this may be all of it, none of it or just some of it.

  • What happens when you remote wipe a Mac?

    This doesn't seem to be covered anywhere very clearly.  Documentation seems to say it will protect your data, but lacks details.  Several questions I have in this regard:
    1 Can this feature be disabled, or locked from being used on individual machines?
    2 Does this erase non-encrypted secondary drives?
    3 How does it handle encrypted secondary drives?
    4 If you have the main drive encrypted (File Vault 2), what happens?
    5 And if you don't?
    6 Under what circumstances, if any, can a "wiped" machine be "unwiped"?
    My expectations (I have NOT confirmed any of this) are as follows:
    1 Cannot be disabled either in iCloud or on the machine. Enabling "Find My Mac" allows location, locking, and, of course, wiping
    2 Does not erase secondary drives (non-OS). 
    3 encrypted secondary drives likewise untouched, but by nature of being encrypted, are safe.
    4 If file vault is enabled, it disables ability for ANY authorized user to log in, making it impossible for anyone to recover the encrypted data. This is like a lock, but requires the Key, not just a PIN.
    5 Wipes the whole main disk if not encrypted?
    6 Under the circumstance that File Vault was enabled, the data is still there. The only way to recover it would be to use the Key you received upon enabling File Vault (possibly stored with Apple).  If File Vault was not enabled, at least the primary drive is all gone.
    Part of my apprehension about enabling it is that if it's irreversible, a hacked iCloud account could go from a horrible experience to catastrophic.
    Does anyone have answers, or links to documentation answering these questions?
    Thanks!

  • What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone- didn't upgrade!!!

    What happened to my  GB 5.1? Suddenly features are gone, like reverb, compression, etc, for each track. I didn't download or upgrade. What happened?
    How, why? Can I get it back?   I've relied on simple use for years.
    How could apple change my program without me permitting anything? Was it part of Safari update? If so, that is very slimy and unfair... Not ethical.....
    How do I get back the features I've been relying on for 5.1?       Cutting those things out of 5.1 as a way to make us upgrade to 10 isn't right. Its not as if I was using Apple Support for 5.1..... This doesn't seem Apple like, at least with original ethics and values.  
    David

    I am having the same issue.  I had a 5.0.2 version (I think) of Safari on a Windows Vista machine which worked with my XmlHttpRequest() just fine.  Then I upgraded now on 5.1.5 and now my initial command (which returns just text) no longer works.  Has anyone else seen this.  The same is true for my Safari browsers in the iPhone and iPad.
    I have another application which uses the same interface just returns comma delimited data and it works just fine.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks
