No E-Mail Updates or High Bit-Rate Audio Using WiFi

When I use WiFi and click on the mail icon, my 3GS will not update my e-mail messages. The network activity icon just keeps going and going. Additionally, I cannot get audio streams over 128k on apps such as Wunderradio. Everything works fine on 3G networks and I have enabled the high bit rate option for the apps that have such an option.
The two problems happen on all Wifi networks, so the problem isn't my home network
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Yes. I am able to surf the internet and do everything else except for the two problems I outlined in my original post. The icon switches from 3G to the WiFi "fan". Using the Speedtest.net application I have checked my WiFi connection and it is usually at 4,400 kbps download and 1,000 kbps upload.
In case someone asks: I am using an att.net e-mail account, but have also tried my comcast.net account with the same results.

IPod not playing re-ripped tunes with higher bit-rates

Since I got my iPod and have more storage I have been slowly re-ripping some of some tunes at a higher bit rate. iTunes doesn't appear to try to sync these songs and re-upload them to the iPod.
What happens is that the song stops playing part-way through the song. My guess is that it is due to the file size of the old (lower) bit-rate, as if it still thinks the EOF is at the same spot even though the file is now larger. It's almost as if the index doesn't get updated properly somehow.
I've tried deleting all the songs on the iPod and even doing a restore, but that doesn't always fix it. Some songs do it, some don't.
I know the rips are good because I can play them all the way through with either iTunes or Media Player.
Any help on getting it to sync them properly?

I assume that I have to re-rip the songs at the higher bit rate, unless there is Is there an easy way to do that without re-ripping them.
Assuming you want the higher audio quality (and not just a puffed up version of the same low quality track) you will have to re-rip from the CDs.
Also, what happens to the lower bit rate songs in my playlists, especially if I delete the lower bit rate versions from my library?
Under certain conditions, iTunes will recognize the CD and ask you if you want to replace the existing versions. Say yes, and the rip process will automatically do the replace.
In case it does not ask, just go ahead and rip, and then do the replacements manually.

[Bug] iOS 5.1 missing covers after "convert higher bit rate songs to" with iTunes 10.6

All my music has covers in iTunes Library. But after i updated to iOS 5.1 they are missing on my devices.
It happens every time i check "convert higher bit rate songs to 192/256 kbps" on iTunes 10.6 (40) on my Mac.
On the screenshot (iPad 2010 running iOS 5.1) Bon Iver's album copied by default settings, and Coldplay's album converted to 192 kbps.
BTW on my old iPhone 3G (iOS 4.2.1) all covers are OK even when convert feature is ON.

I have solved it by unchecking (momentaneously till apple fix it) the "Convert higher bit rate songs" option.
I know that it need more space but i don't have too much music synced so.. it isn't a problem for me..
I have this problem because i'm using the "manually manage music and videos", i'm not using the auto sync option because iTunes always try to copy my new apps to my mac even having that option unchecked...
Now we have iCloud... i don't know why apple still have not deleted this feature!
Anyway... i have solved it momentaneously.
Apple.... come on!

HT4914 I have an iTunes library of some 18k tracks. If I subscribe to iTunes Match, can I delete my library from the pc hard drive and then download my entire collection back at the higher bit rate of 256?

I would like to improve the quality of my iTunes library, most of which were ripped at the old 'higher quality' setting and not lossless.
I would consider subscribing to the iTunes Match programme if I would later be able to download my music back on to my PC at the improved higher bit rate stated.
Is there a problem with this?

In iPhoto, Select All the Photos you want to move... Then goto > File > Export >

Click Export and select your External Drive
Best to create a Folder to put them in... and away you go...

HT204406 how do I download higher bit rate songs from itunes match to replace the lower bit rate I have on my itunes library?

I have itunes match and I have about 500 songs that were ripped at 128kbps. I have been tolf that I can replace them via itunes match to improve them to 256 or 320?
I have put them into a playlist in my itunes library and I want to know how I can upgrade their bit rate via itunes match. Can anyone help me?

Sid,
With the device connected, click the Summary tab and you will see the "Convert higher bit rate..." option. Set it to 128. See picture below:

ITunes 7 and Shuffle:"Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" broken

This has become unusably slow in iTunes 7. Is this fixed yet? Does anyone have a workaround?

I have the same issue but with my iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS. Songs play fine in iTunes. If is uncheck Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC the no more scratching sounds on my devices.

HT1535 How do i convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC

I am trying to sync selected songs to my Iphone 5 from my itunes library. I have recently taken my computer to be fixed and all of my music documents were taken off but the files were replaced shorty after. I re-downloaded itunes and it is up to date. My iphone is also on the ios 7.0.4. Whenever i plug my phone in to be synced it never goes past the "waiting for changes to be applied" step. While my phone was still connected i went to the "On this iphone" tab and clicked the autofill button and a message came up that said i must convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps ACC to allow the songs to be copied to my iphone. How do i do this? Also, once this is done will it solve my problem with transfeering my songs from my library to my iphone?

Using the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" feature...

I recently discovered the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" feature and used it to copy my entire 70 GB music library to my 64GB iPad. The music library now occupies only 45 GB. Awesome!!!
Unfortunately, the whole process took well over 24++ hours on my quad core Windows 7 computer (takes about 6 seconds per track). Questions:
1. Is it possible to speed up the process? Even though I am using iTunes 64-bit version, it seems that at no point is more than a single core being used at 33%. Seems to me like overall 8% of the CPU (33% / 4) capacity is being used for the conversion and 92% is being left idle. Is this just bad programming or is there anything I can do to speed up the process? Others see similar problems?
2. Now I have already started dreading the day, I need to restore my iPad (e.g., when OS version 4 becomes available). I would hate to have to do this process all over again. Should I need to restore my iPad, is there anyway I can force iTunes to back up the 128-bit AAC versions on my computer and restore it up from there?
Any insights into both these questions will be deeply appreciated.
Cheers,

Thanks for the response.
So, I am wondering why iTunes uses only 8% of the processor power in converting the songs.
Possible reasons not to grab more of the CPU power (1) maybe the process is I/O bound due to all the writing, and is not processor limited? (2) since conversion is almost always a background program, and the user will typically have other things going on, maybe it intentionally limits CPU use?
I ran a few quick experiments (out of curiosity) and think the answer is #2. No apparent technical reason but potentially a limitation introduced by Apple's engineers to maintain a good user experience (for some people at least). I fired up 4 instances of dbpoweramp and ran multiple conversions and found that the process goes faster than what iTunes can do by an order of magnitude. With luck, someday Apple will have an option for users to select how much of processor bandwidth to be allocated for the conversion.

Super-rip high bit-rate with x

hi everyone, i was wondering if anybody with the x-fi notice the high bit rate. mine is that high it will not play on a cd player in .wma or .wav, with or without cmss3d, i found that the bit rate i get without cmss3d it's around about 2200bp/s. when cmss3d multi channel it shots up to approx. 5500bp/s. medium settings. anyone else with high bit rates.
john
thanx for any replies

john_g,
If your CD player are not able to support/playback 4/6 channel Wave or WMA Pro/Lossless file. I would suggest you to super rip to normal WMA audio file instead. Choose CMSS-3DHeadphone option instead of CMSS-3DSurround. From there you should have an option of WMA with bitrate of either 92kbps, 256kbps and 320kb
ps.

What does convert higher bit rates songs to 128 kbps mean

what does convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps mean?

Some people, myself included, import their music from original audio CDs. When doing so I choose to import using Apple Lossless format so as to keep the full original quality of the audio CDs (this is after all why it is called Apple Lossless format in that you are not losing any quality).
The drawback of doing this is that the music files take a lot more disk space than a lossy format like MP3 or AAC. This is these days not a problem on a computer as hard disk space is now cheap an plentiful but it can be a problem on a flash memory based music player like the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Touch, or iPhone as these have far less capacity.
Therefore Apple now let you turn on this option to automatically convert from Apple Lossless to AAC when syncing to one of these music players. As a result on your computer the music is still kept in the full lossless high quality format, but is converted and transferred as a much smaller but slightly lower quality for use on these music players. As with an iPod you are not listening in a quiet room with high quality speakers you will not really notice the difference in quality.

When I Tick Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps and press sync it says are you sure you want to remove apps. Help please

Hi, I recently put music on my ipad (manually, I do not sync because I dont like leaving music in my itunes) I realised they take up a lot of space because of the bit rate so I went into iTunes and pressed "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" Then I pressed apply and I got the message "Are you sure you want to remover 113 apps......." I have checked and sync Apps is unticked so my question is why does it say this and is there a way around it. Also if i tick convert to AAC will it convert the songs already on my ipad or just ones I add from now on.

Why not? That's what it is for.
So Restoring your iPad when it crashes and losing all your music is acceptable to you?
Then I pressed apply and I got the message "Are you sure you want to remover 113 apps......." I have checked and sync Apps is unticked so my question is why does it say this and is there a way around it.
Since you now want to sync the iPad and have told it you do not want to sync apps, it will remove them all.
Check the apps you want on the iPad.
Also if i tick convert to AAC will it convert the songs already on my ipad or just ones I add from now on.
It will only convert new songs added to the iPad.

Convert higher bit rate songs?

This is an option on the device screen every tme I sync my iPod touch - now at OS v6.
Should I click on it and convert? And if so, to which kbps setting?

On-the-fly conversion is only available on the iPod shuffle. The iPod shuffle (probably because of it's limited capacity) has the option to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This option is not available for any other model iPod. Syncing anything larger than a shuffle and converting in the process would be a very slow process. For the larger iPods the files have to be converted in iTunes first or indeed have to have been imported in a compressed format prior to transfer.
There are a couple of ways to handle this, one is to convert the songs in your library and put them in a playlist to sync the iPod from, the other is to have a second library of compressed songs and sync the iPod from there:
iPod - Syncing Music
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac

H.264 .m2t high bit rate playback problem ...

I'm still coming up to speed on some of basic video concepts so bare with me.   I have a 9 minute 1280x720 video; 59.94; source came from a Contour+ bike helmet type camera that stores .mov/H.264; separate audio track from MP3 files.   I exported an .m2t file file using the H.264 Blu-ray format/preset.   Besides checking TS multiplexing, the only other items I changed from the default were Maximum Render Quality and VBR, 2 pass.   This file plays fine on my PC with Windows Media Player.
Next I went down the layman's road of thinking higher bit rate = more information per second = higher quality and slid the target bit rate all the way to the right to 35, which in turn adjusted the max bit rate to 35 as well.   VBR 2-pass, max render, etc. still applied.   When I go to play this .m2t file under WMP it chokes and jerks.
I just wanted to ensure this result is expected and not some issue with my hardware or software configuration or other underlying systemic issue. I was expecting this file to play just like the other one above.   Feedback?
I have a new PC that followed the VideoGuys DIY9 spec closely: i7 3930, 32GB, GTX670, WD Caviar Black RAID0, etc.
Thanks

WMP overall is a pretty unreliable media player IMO. The media players I tend to stick with are VLC,Splash Lite and KMplayer. In my experince sometimes with interlaced footage VLC doesn't play it back very well if it's a scene that has a lot of movement regardless of how you tweak it's deinterlace filters/options etc. So in those cases I use one of my other media players.
Basically what I'm saying is that no media player is perfect for every scenario although WMP is certainly my least favorite.

HD SDI versus Component... Which has a higher bit rate?

New system is up and running! I'm importing HDCAM footage through my decklink HD Extreme. Wondering what would yield a higher bit rate- the HD SDI input or the component input...? SDI is giving me about 95 mbps, but 4:2:2 uncompressed 8-bit HD is supposed to be as high as 150 mbps.
Side note: I'm using a BNC cable for the SDI input.

Same bit rate, only better quality via HD SDI.
Make sure you are using an HD SDI BNC cable...not just any BNC cable will do.
If you capture via Component...then HD SDI...you'll note the same bit rate.
SDI is giving me about 95 mbps, but 4:2:2 uncompressed 8-bit HD is supposed to be as high as 150 mbps.
AS HIGH AS...meaning there is a range. uncompressed 10-bit HD ranges between 150 and 180 MB/s...depending on the frame rate...23.98, 29.97, 59.94...and the size...720p, 1080p.
TOO MANY SECRETS...er...OPTIONS.
