Non iTunes audio content!

What happens if you want to use your speakers for non iTunes use...like Quicktime, internet or even videoconferencing...would I have to unplug the speakers out of the AirPort Express each time...or is there a way to send content to the base station?

I know of a way. This shareware app will do it:

I tried it myself and it works ... but you only get one application at a time, and the audio is delayed by about a second. Probably some sort of buffer.
In the end, I didn't bother buying.

My computer crashed and once restored I could only sync purchased content. I dont want to lose my non-ITunes puchased content. What can I do?

My computer crashed and once restored I could only sync "purchased content". I dont want to lose over 500 songs. My ITunes file now only contained the "purchased content" items. My Ipod Touch still contains all the original music. HELP!! How can I download music from my IPod Touch and somehow get it into my computer (ITunes Lirbary)...... Can I down load my content to a computer that does not have ITunes installed?

Non-iTunes Store Content: Parental Controls

I'm trying to figure out how to use iTunes parental controls on content that I did not download from the iTunes Store. The contents contains both songs and videos that I downloaded from another site and ripped from CDs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but Parental Controls won't work with material you import from CD or another source, only with the iTunes Store. The solution to Parental Controls for other material is for you, the parent, to control what you put in iTunes for any user account to which your kids have access. The best route would be to set up an account in Mac OS X just for your kids, and only put into that account's iTunes those tracks you wish your kids to listen to.

Non iTunes audio is in some cases missing

I have quite a few audio teaching mp3's downloaded and set as playlists within iTunes. I could sync them to my iPhone and iPad. Since subscribing to Match some are in iCloud and some are on my devices. Some are neither place. Can anybody help me figure this out? All else is working fine.

Hi,
In song view, go to menu > view > view options and tick bit rate, kind and Icloud Status. If the bit rate is less than 96 Kbps the iCloud status will show tracks are inelligible.
Match is meant for music files. I suggest that you select tracks and then get info and change media kind to audiobook:
When you have done this, you will be able to sync files by wifi or USB

Can I wirelessly stream non-iTunes Store contents from iTunes to my HDTV via AppleTV?

All contents are converted to be iTunes friendly (m4v). They also play properly on my iPhone 4 and iPad. How can I watch these videos on my HDTV wirelessely, will it work on AppleTV? Again, all videos were downloaded and converted to m4v and were not purchased from the iTunes Store.

Anything that is in the correct format and in the iTunes library can be streamed to an Apple TV

Are there any alternative methods to transferring non iTunes media content from an iPhone to a computer?

How do i get non-iTunes audio (like Spotify) to play through airport express?

I'm trying to play Spotify through my stereo using airport express. I've looked around and saw Airfoil, Airplay, Porthole... but I'm confused as to what I should get.
MacBook early 2008- 10.7.5
I have an airport extreme too, it's not currently connected, but it could be.

Airfoil will work and it's free to try.
Native system audio streaming support to an AirPort Express is incorporated in newer model Macs and OS X versions, and I don't recall what its minimum system requirements are. Check System Preferences > Sound. Your Express's remote speakers will either appear as a sound output option, or not. If it does you don't need anything else.

Transfering NON-iTunes-Store Content from Nano 5th TO iTunes 9.2

Laptop was stolen, trying to transfer ALL my music from my iPod 5th generation back into iTunes on my new laptop. Used this GREAT article... but nothing happened. Might be outdated info?

Help! Thank you!

If you're referring to the first part, covering "Transfer Purchases from iPod", that only applies to items purchased from the iTunes Store. It will not work with music you imported from CD or obtained elsewhere and put on your iPod.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Can Romanian Companies open a iTunes store and sell audio content ?

Hello dear friends,
I own a Romanian Company that produces audio content.
I wanted to know if Romanian Companies are allowed to create stores and sell their content online on iTunes.
Before posting this post, I tried to find the answer to this question, searching on Google and apple site, but without success.
If anyone can help me with some links regarding my problem, please post them as a reply or contact me directly on email admin @ cartiaudio.eu
Thank you very much, and sorry if I disturb.
Best regards,
Valentin

At this time there is no iTunes Store in Romania, so there is no place for Romanian companies to sell music tracks, movies or videos within your country. Apple has not said anything as of yet as to any plans or possibility to open an iTunes Store in Romania, so until such time as Apple is able to open an iTunes Store in your country the answer is, I'm sorry to say, "no", not if you wish to sell within Romania.
If you are interested in releasing your content in other countries where there are iTunes Stores, though, contact Apple via their web page for iTunes Marketing. You'll probably want to read their FAQ first.
Regards.

How do I find an audio file that I put on an iPod from a non-iTunes software?

I'm talking about on the iPod itself, not looking at the folders when it is connected to the computer.
I've put some audio files, podcasts and songs, that transfered from a non-iTunes podcast aggregator and songs that weren't in my iTunes library, but could not find them on the actual iPod device. This, despite the files showing up on the device when looking at a list of files on computer screen once I connect to a computer.
Asked this a few times now, and never got an answer. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

- Only iTunes purchases will copy from iPod to computer.
- If you sync manually and do not specify those modified songs to sync they will not sync to the iPod nor will the original version be deleted from the iPod
- If you sync automatically and include those songs or select the modified songs to sync manually, the songs in the iPod should be replaced with the modified songs. However sometimes that does not happen

When you set up the new Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer both from your iMac and your external drives. You can also use Target Disk Mode to drag over the things you want.

Multiple Libraries - Authorization Question - For NON-iTune purchased music

Please help! The questions come at the end.
I have an extensive classical music iTunes library in AAC format that I ripped from CDs I've purchased over the past 20 years. NON of these were purchased from iTunes. (I have another library on my PC with other music, and I have purchased some iTunes songs for that library). I access one or the other by pressing Shift, etc. No problem.
Both my son and I listen to classical music, and I wanted to share this library with him by moving my classical iTunes Library to his computer. (I copied the entire folder structure from my PC to his, nearly 50 GB worth). So he now has 2 libraries on his computer. One (the classical library) and his own iTunes library.
He can access the classical library (hold down shift key, etc.), but gets a message to "AUTHORIZE THE FILE SOURCE" before listening to the music. So my questions:
++ Why does he need to authorize music from non-iTunes source? I'm not trying to illegally give him anything from iTunes. My family owns this classical CD collection.
++ If he does need to authorize the FILE SOURCE, I suppose he would use MY iTUNES account information to do so. Is this correct? Or should he use HIS account information?
++ And if he does use my account info, _will he retain his iTunes account setting for his other iTunes Library_? I.e., He would have a classical music library that's authorized by me (I guess my second computer?), and his regular library with his account information?
This sounds more complicated than it is (maybe it IS more complicated than I think (sic).
Any help greatly appreciated.

I could be wrong, but if that's the exact message he's getting, it sounds more like a file permssions error in Windows rather than the typical iTunes authorization message which brings up an obvious request for an iTunes Store ID and password. I'd suggest he look at the Windows permissions for the folder and it's contents and see if perhaps he doesn't have the correct permissions to access that material.
Hope this helps.
