New iTunes 4.9 doesn't convert .mpg into .mp3 or aac ?

hello support!
I'm a producer in a german radiostation. we're working with soundfiles saved in .mpg files (mpeg1 audio). In past (with version 4.8) it was possible to import that files into itunes and convert it into mp3 or aac. Now, with that new podcast version, it doesn't work. If I try, I get an unknown error "(-50)". does anyone know about this problem?
and another question: why does itunes play that .mpg files without any problems and ipod doesn't ???

Dennis,
What I did:
1) I bought apple quicktime pro do not follow me in this it won't help you.. I got angry and at the apple store they said I would get my money back because I asked them BEFORE I bought and they said it would work. It doesn't
2) I downloaded MPEG streamclip (free) at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
AND....
It works! You do not need to buy the Apple quicktime MPEG 2 component rubbish, you do not need it if you convert just audio!
I have MP2 files with 384 kbbs and I was looking a bit odd when they showed up as 192 kbbs but that is per stereo channel so the total comes to 384 again.
I transferred the files into AIFF and it works I do see a conversion into AC3 is that AAC? well if you can convert to AIFF you can use iTunes again to convert to AAC or MP3!
so now you can do the job! I am now, after a few hours, again back to start to work..... thanks iTunes boys!
there is another app at http://www.dekorte.com/projects/shareware/SoundConverter/ is seems to do the job as well but it'll cost you 10 dollar. And I do not know if it is as good as the free app...

  • New iTunes on Mac doesn't allow me anymore to select all songs and 'Get info' to adjust the volume, like the old one. It says"your selection contains more than one type of media". They are all songs! Help please!

    Not true. Select "Kind" as a sort category by right clicking the headings
    Then click to sort by Kind
    If your Import Settings are for Apple Lossless, AIFF, AAC or whatever the majority of your files are, convert MP3s to that file type.
    I've presently got 17,000+ files in my library, and they're ALL MP3 or M4B(Audiobooks). If they weren't when I got them, I converted them.  Saves a LOT of hassels with just this type of situation. Besides I have two non Apple MP3 players that WON'T work with other file types besides MP3 so, EVERYTHING I have has to be MP3.

    If you transfer any iTunes content to the iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first with a warning message provided indicating this beforehand.
    Authorize the different computer with your Apple ID with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, right click on the iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Transfer Purchases. This will transfer all apps on your iPhone to the iTunes library.

    Did you remove your personal data when uninstalling and have created a new default profile folder?
    It is possible that you previously had an extension that set focus to the location bar.

  • Convert .caf into .mp3

    Hi
    I have a problem with converting a CAF file into a MP3 file. I used the SpeakHere example and want to send this file. But I didn't figure it out how to convert this into mp3. According to the iPhone Dev docs there's no mp3 functionality...
    Does anybody know how to convert it?
    Thanks and Regards

    You can play mp3s in the simulator but they won't work on the device. If you really want to convert from a .caf, just use the export function of Quicktime.

  • Garageband volume problem after converting project into mp3 formats

    Every time after I convert my music project into MP3 by clicking "send song to i-tune" in GarageBand, the volume of the music always come out to be softer than the original project before its been converted.

  • New iTunes - Artwork downloaded doesn't match

    I just installed the latest iTUnes version. I have gone through my whole library and downloaded the artwork (album covers) but when the artwork doesn't match, I try to delete it but the wrong cover stays, and I have no way to remove it..... Does anyone have the same problem? Thanks

    Have the same problem. Suggestion of pac_80 doesn't work.
    Have posted this to the Itunes helpdesk.
    What's strange is that when clicking Get Info the artwork doesn't pop up. When adding other artwork the previous one remains in the view, while the new one in the separate artwork-window => so downloaded and manually added must be two separate fields...

  • HT201209 My new itunes gift card doesn't work.  I have tried 8-10 times.  It just won't accept the 16 digit code. Help!

    I have a new $30 itunes gift card.  The 16 digit code doesn't work.  There's no way to contact itunes for help.  Can anyone help?

    What happens when you try to redeem it ? If the page that you posted from doesn't help and if it's omly something that iTunes Support can help with then you can contact them via this page (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • If i make a new Itunes account/Apple ID and I log into it on a computer and sync it to my phone, will I loose all the content on my phone?

    I used to share an Itunes account but I recently made my own through my phone.  I have all my stuff from my phone backed up on the computer on my old Apple ID/Itunes account.  I want to back up all my current content on my phone to my NEW Apple ID/Itunes account but I'm afraid things will erase if I try to do so.  How can I do this and still keep all the content on my phone currently?

    You can't back up iTunes store content to a different account on your oomputer.

  • So I've bought a new pc and have HomeShared all my music/apps from the old to the new iTunes.  When I plug my phone into the new computer, what will happen?  I just want to be sure my contacts/calenders will be the same.  What about the music/apps?

    I have no problem resorting the apps and losing the playlists from the other iTunes.  I just want to be sure nothing will be lost.

    I would suggest backing up your iphone before doing anything. You can do that by right-clicking on the name of your iphone from the source list on the left side of itunes.
    I hope this helps!
