Play 24bit ALAC audio on iPhone / iPad

I have a lot of hi-res (24bit) ALAC audio files in my iTunes library. iTunes refuses to sync those with my iPhone / iPad. Is there anyway of using another program together with another app to sync and play those audio files on my iPhone ?

One additional question: I have one "master" library with my full music collection on it, and I use iTunes Match to keep this library updated will all purchases/additions from other devices. This library "sits" on an Mac Mini, and is connected via optical out to one high-end system, and I have another high-end system in another part of the house connected via optical to an AirPort Express.
Question 1: if I download FLAC files, convert to Apple Lossless and import to the iTunes library on my MacMini, I assume that this is what I will hear on the system connected directly to the MacMini. What about when I stream the same Apple Lossless file to my other system via AirPlay? Will it still work?
Question 2: How does iTunes Match deal with Apple Lossless files when I sync with my other devices (MacBook Pro Retina, iPad Retina, iPhone 4s)?
Thanks in advance!

Audio from iPhone/iPad via Airplay skipping on Apple TV

When streaming audio from an iOS device, there is frequent and noticeable skipping to the point that it's unusable. I've recently upgrade Apple TV and moved to a different internet provider and wireless router and am still experiencing the same issue. Streaming video from my MacBook is absolutely fine. Streaming audio is glitchy.
iPhone 4S running latest iOS
iPad Mini running latest iOS
Apple TV current gen running latest OS
MacBook Air (2011) running latest OSX
I've tried to find solutions to this before but eventually give up in frustration. I told myself that it was probably due to my old Apple TV. But now that I've got the current, brand new Apple TV and it's still happening I decided to ask for help.
Has anyone experienced this and found a workable solution?

Hello SebastianTroen,
It sounds like you are seeing these performance issues persist between 2 different versions of the Apple TV. I would recommend that you use these troubleshooting steps from the following article, as it should help you resolve the issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

ITunes Diagnostic Doesn't Find Audio CD or iPhone/iPad - Help!

I
I’m having issues with iTune to recognize my iPhone and iPad. My iPod nano (G5) is recognized. I’ve run diagnostics with two failures (No Audio CD Found, and No iPod, iPhone, iPad connected). A month ago everything was working. What happened? I’ve spend many hours following the instructions that’s on the web without success. BTW – the music list that’s on my ‘test’ CD is displayed in iTunes and can be played. It’s very strange that the diagnostic shows a CD/DVD issue. I don’t have a virtual drive. 'Importing the CD' works cleanly - no problems.
I am at a loss. Any suggestions, phones numbers?
Thanks, Pat

I too am having the same issue as the OP.

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???

If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it. So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it. Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information. Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode. I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream). When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD. All device are on current releases of software. I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV. How do I correct this?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Is it possible to play Clash of Clans on an IPad and an IPhone but have 2 seperate games?

I have been playing clash of clans on the iPad for a while and my boyfriend wants to start one too on his iPhone - but they have the same Game Centre .. He downloaded the app and when it loaded it asked If he wanted to load the game from the IPad he pressed cancel and it began the game from scratch but if he continues will it erase my game? Or will it be separate and have no effect?

I'm not aware of anything specifically for the screen, but there is a general reset which may or may not help : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that doesn't help then you could try restoring to your last backup or restoring back to factory defaults.
Do the parts of the screen where you having problems no work on any apps ? It may be a hardware issue with the iPad, in which case you may need to contact Apple.

Will SWFs embedded in PDFs play on iPhone\iPad?

Hi
I've been developing a portfolio PDF which uses some Flash features, but with the way things seem to be going for Flash esp. its omission from iOS, I wondered whether this was a good idea for maximum portability esp if potential employers are viewing my portfolio on an Apple device.
So here's the key thing - will Flash files embedded in a PDF play correctly when viewed in Adobe Reader for iPhone\iPad i.e. is the Flash playback functionality contained in Adobe Reader, or does it rely on the Flash player installed in the platform?
Thanks for your help!

About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes... When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device...

ime plays them with audio, however the screen is black. What is the fix?

Experimental advice (in this particular context) coming up.
Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

IPhone 4S plays only one audio channel

in my new Camry with a Bluetooth connection. I have verified it is not in the car settings by hooking up an identical iPhone 4S with the same software. All settings relating to anything audio seem to me the same.

Hello beckerd,
Testing another device is one of the first things I would have done as well. I was researching the issue you describe and found an article that I feel has the best advice to help troubleshoot the issue.
Named iOS: How to troubleshoot Bluetooth connections it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4562.
Begin troubleshooting with these preliminary steps.
Check that you are in range of the Bluetooth device with which you are trying to pair your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Most Bluetooth devices have a range of approximately 30 feet.
On your iOS device, tap Settings > Bluetooth and find your device in the list. If your device says Not Connected, tap the name of your device to attempt to connect it.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth off and then on again.
Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is turned on and fully charged or connected to power.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Bluetooth and locate the Bluetooth accessory you are currently connected to or attempting to connect to. Then tap > and Forget this Device. Try to pair your Bluetooth accessory again.
Note: You may need to re-enter your Bluetooth accessory PIN if your accessory requires one. Some common PINs are 0000, 1111, and 1234.
Restart your Bluetooth accessory by turning it off and then on again1.
Update your device to the latest version of software. See how to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If your Bluetooth accessory has upgradeable firmware, check to see that you have the latest version1, 2.
Additional Information
If the steps above have not resolved the Bluetooth behavior you are experiencing, perform a software restore in iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your iOS device in iTunes, contact Apple for support and service options.
Cheers,
Sterling

On my iPhone 4s the video play back , the audio is very low . All other audio is good on phone even older video plays nice and loud . I have no idea what is wrong?

On my iPhone 4s taking video then playing back ,the audio is so low you can barely hear it . I played older videos and the audio works perfect . All other audio works perfect on the phone too. I have no idea what is going on ?

Hey!
I have tried holding down the home and power button countless of times. It doesnt respond at all. Plug my phone to a charger and hold down the power button and my phone switched on. But it said Activation Required and said connect to Itunes. As e screen remains on the connect to Itunes screen, I disconnect the charger from my phone and my phone went dead instantly. My battery is full btw. Tried connecting to Itunes through my Macbook Pro but iTunes doesnt detect my device and the apple logo flashes for about a few seconds on my phone and then disappear and then came back on again. My Iphone has been connected to my laptop for about 30 mins and the apple logo has been coming on and off for 30 minutes now and Itunes has not detect my device yet.
SIGHHH.
