Playing a third-party audiofile through iTunes

I downloaded an audiobook file from iAmplify and thought it would be a breeze to start listening, but I'm missing something. Can't get through to their tech support either! (Note to self: don't order from them again!)
The downloaded file is on my desktop but carries an icon that makes it look like an Excel file. There is no filename extension on it.
I want to add it to my iTunes library so I can hear it. Can't drag and drop. Tried to "apply" iTunes to it as the application of choice, but that's not doing anything either.
How can I get this audiofile to play on my computer? And how do I move it to iTunes? Thanks in advance for your help!

I've noticed that sometimes .bin files show up with an Excel icon. Right-click and "Get Info" See if you can determine what kind of file it is.
You can also...
Click on the Desktop... then in the menu bar go to:
Finder>Preferences
Click the "Advanced" tab
Activate the check box next to "Show all file extensions"

  • Is there any third party software for itunes that will do this:

    Is there any third party software for itunes that will organize the browser window. Ideally I would like the third browser window (album name) organized by "main albums" "compilations" "bootlegs" "singles"
    It would look like this for the Beatles
    Main
    1963 Please Please Me
    1965 Help
    etc.
    Compilations
    1970 Red Album
    1990 Greatest Hits
    etc.
    Bootlegs
    1985 Ultratrax 1
    etc.
    CD Singles
    1999 Whatever
    This info would be marked on either the info or option tab when labeling.
    If this has not been made, one of you nerds should make it, it would be great and you could charge $3 for it and I buy it. and so would 100,000 other people.

    If you haven't already, try looking through the Apple Downloads specifically for iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/
    There might be something there that is at least similar to the app your looking for.
    edit: There is one shareware that is an iTunes plugin called Multi-tunes. With it you can create multiple iTunes libraries, one library called "Main" one called "Bootlegs" etc, and Multi-Tunes will allow you to quickly switch between them from within the iTunes window. Not exactly what your looking for but close.

    Success!! There truly is a light at the end of the tunnel. Apple support really did come through and I am successfully back into my account. Ready to purchase more music. I followed the instructions, with patience I thought I lost, submitted my problem, someone emailed me back within two days and all is now perfect. Thanks again Apple.

  • Updated to iTunes 7 and can no longer play music off my iPod through iTunes

    The title says it all. I can no longer play music from my iPod through iTunes now that I have upgraded. When I click on my iPod there is a little black lock beside where it shows the disk usage.
    anyone have any ideas. I like some of the new features of this version of iTunes but it really seems to be a few steps backwards.

    That little lock usually indicates that the iPod is set to autosync. In order to play iPod content through iTunes, you have to be on manual sync.

  • Problem in committing a new document in third party repository through Ente

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a document in third party repository through enterprise portal GUI. The steps I am following are:
         1. I go to repository integrated with the Enterprise portal.
         2. Then go to Folder -> New -> HTML File.
         3. Here it asks me to enter Name of the document and the Contents of the document.
         4. Then Click on Save
    I am trying to implement this functionality by using RF (Repository Framework).
    I have implemented  createResource() method NameSpaceManger.java class. The signature of this class is:
         NamespaceManager extends AbstractSubManager implements INamespaceManager,IMutableNamespaceManager{
    The Code:
    if ((d instanceof IResourceCreateDescriptor) || (d instanceof ICollectionCreateDescriptor)) {
              IRid parent = d.getDestinationDescriptor().getParentCollectionRid();    
              String name = d.getDestinationDescriptor().getChildName();
    name = UriCodec.Decode(name);
    ACEPHandle handle = (ACEPHandle)this.repositoryManager.lookup(parent);
              ACEPNode node = handle.getNode();
    if (!node.isCollection()) {   
                   throw new ResourceNotCollectionException(parent,        
                        "parent is not a collection!");  
    IAccessContext  context = AccessContextFactory.getInstance().getContextOrNullIfUnavailable();
    com.sap.security.api.IUser sapUser  = context.getUser();
    com.sapportals.portal.security.usermanagement.IUser epUser = WPUMFactory.getUserFactory().getEP5User(sapUser);
    ResourceContext resourceContext = new ResourceContext(epUser);
    RID rid = RID.getRID(node.getRid().getPath()RID.PATH_SEPARATORname);
    IResource resource = ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid,resourceContext);
    IContent content=  resource.getContent();
    InputStream iStream = content.getInputStream();
    byte[] byteArray = new byte[51200];
              int bytesRead = -1;
              try{
              while ( (bytesRead = iStream.read(byteArray, 0,51200)) != -1) {
                   byteArray = new byte[51200];
              }catch(IOException e){
    The Error I am getting in the logs is:
    <b>ContentRetrieval: Unexpected HTTP status 500 Internal Server Error: HRESULT [0x8004022f]</b>
    Please advice me the right way to proceed further.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Please print out the Verbose Stack Trace generated when you run this application.
    I suspect that you FolderPathResolver is not pointed at the directory you think it is. You might want to try printing out
    I_CurrentFolder.getAnyFolderPath();
    and I_CurrentFolder.getName();

  • Connecting to the Third Party Applicatin through Portal

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how do we connect to the Third Party Application through Portal? WHat technology EP uses to connect to the third party application and retrieve data from the system to display?
    ALso if i have 2 application connected to the portal and if I retrieve one record from one application, then i want Portal to bring information related to that record from another application. In that case, do we have to maintain referential information about the records in both the applications, so that Portal will know which record id to pull from another application? How does it work?
    Thank you very much in advance.

  • No audio plays from the computer, regardless if something is plugged in or not. iTunes will not play, or third party music services. How do I fix this?

    My Mac Pro was playing music at a gathering and it stopped playing music. When I plugged in the AUX cord, it wouldn't play any of the music from iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, or YouTube. It would recognize something was plugged in because I have it on the setting where if you remove the cord it skips to the next song, but wouldn't play the music. I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue but I am updating everything and trying the best I can to fix it. I really like netflix and no audio is kind of a bummer.

    First check System Preferences/Sound - check all the settings to make sure mute is not selected. 
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).

  • Serious Issue with "third party subscriptions" through text messages.

    Forgive me for perhaps sounding dramatic. After having this experience I nearly paid the fee to break my contract and quit on cell phones all together. If apple gets the iPhone to a point where no cellular carrier is neccessary I will be the first to join the party. I'm going to start trying this skype thing this weekend. Anyway, I digress, here's what happened. I get my bill from AT&T and there is a charge for download activity for $3.99. Not the end of the world but I call the number to find out what the charge is all about because I thought I had an unlimited data plan. Turns out AT&T calls it a third party subscription fee. I argued that if AT&T is charging it on my bill as far as I'm concerned I'm not concerned about the details, I hold AT&T responsable for what they put on my bill. According to AT&T's rep I recieved a text message asking me if I wished to subscribe to their service. I don't do the text thing so I never read any message like this. HERE'S THE KICKER - BECAUSE I DID NOT RESPOND TO THE TEXT TO SAY NO THANKS I WAS AUTOMATICLY ENTERED INTO AN ILLEGAL CONTRACT TO PAY $3.99 MONTHLY FOR A SERVICE I'M NOT EVEN AWARE OF. I was absolutly irate. The ramifications are astronomical. This means I could get a limitless unexpected bill. I look at it this way: If I had to write a letter, address an envelope, and lick a stamp every time I got an advertisement in my snailmailbox, I would never get out of the house and I would have to get on welfare to afford the stamps. To me there is an obvious legal precidence here. I realize that this has more to do with AT&T than Apple. I simply want to emplore Apple to save us from a world of disintigrating business ethic. Cellular providers have gotten completely out of control. When I feel like I need a lawyer just to call AT&T to discuss the inconsistency of my bill there is a serious problem. I feel like entering into a contract with a cellular provider endangers my financial stability in a fragile era. It just seems rediculous for a business to become so arogant that they can speak nonsense to a customer and we are put in a position to defend against such nonsense. Several of my friends have run into the same issue with text third party subscriptions. Last night at a dinner party three indicated that they finally had all the cellular provider crap they could take and they canceled their iPhone service and put it up on ebay. I love my iPhone, it is the most useful piece of technology I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy. That being said, I cannot justify, as a household provider with a family depending on me, taking the risk of financial ruin (a $3000+ cell phone bill could do just that) initiated by arogant buisiness practaces that resemble the oppression I have witnessed through 12 years of military service in places with an excess of sand. I think it is apauling. I believe the FCC and FTC need to be brought into this. I intend to submit formal complaints to both and would encourage others that feel like I do to do the same.

    Not to diss those trying to be helpful, but the do not call list has nothing to do with spam TXT messages sent from a computer, which is where the OP's problem probably began.
    If a third party sent this message and then signed the OP up for a service he did not want, this violates any number of consumer laws and can be addressed that way. It's unclear whether this is really an AT&T issue at all, absent any evidence that it is their message or their service. It sounds to me like the CS reps do not understand the problem and are giving the not-helpful generic answer about spam TXTs. A much better solution is to set the SMS filters using AT&T's web site.
    Similar scams work on landlines, where you can accidentally end up getting a huge charge on your phone bill for something that has nothing to do with the carrier.
    I'd call the state consumer protection department.

  • How to uninstall third-party visualizers on iTunes?

         To be specific I cannot uninstall the visualizer "Cubism". It required that I put a qtz file (Cubism) into a folder called "Compositions" (already provided for in the little window you open from the dmg) and then drag it into ~/Library/Compositions. I didn't like it, so I deleted the "Compositions" folder in the Compositions folder in the Library. Now, it still appears in the visualizer menu in iTunes and still works for some reason. I searched all my files for "Cubism" or "Compositions" but I can't find them anywhere. Can anyone help me?

    See if it is in one of these folders and remove it from there.

    I started seeing the same symptoms today. I also noticed that at some point my iPhone's name in iTunes had changed from "<my name>'s iPhone" to "iPhone".
    I tried all suggestions in this thread with no luck.
    Since I had sync'ed several times after the problem started, my "restore from iPhone backup" operation was restoring the iPhone to the same wrong state. I wanted to restore it to the state it was before the problem started this morning. However, iTunes only restores to the latest backup.
    I found that on the Mac, the iPhone backups are kept in:
    /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    There were two directories for my iPhone (there's supposed to be only one). One was a long string of characters, the second one was the same string plus a string with a date at the end (as in "328... - 20090820"). I figured whatever happened, happened this morning and iTunes started considering my iPhone a different phone, not authorized to run my apps.
    I disconnected my iPhone from my laptop and closed iTunes. I went to my backup (Time Machine, for those who care to know) and restored the content of the MobileSync/Backup directory from a date before this morning. I restarted iTunes. On my iPhone, I went to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset all settings and contents (this will erase all your iPhone apps, music, pictures and settings, including any WiFi passwords saved). After that finished, I connected my iPhone to my laptop (the iPhone prompts you to do that). First iTunes activated my iPhone, then rebooted it, and then restored all of its contents.
    As a side note, you can interrupt the restoration at any time, it will just pick up where it left off the next time you connect your iPhone. In fact, after most of my apps were restored, I interrupted it, went out for dinner, and as I type this the rest of my apps have been restored and now my music is being copied back to my iPhone.
    All my apps are working now.

  • Playing Music With My Ipod through itunes

    I was wondering if i could plug my ipod into a different computer then the one i update my ipod with and play music through Itunes on there ?

    Thank you.
    So on the main pc, it has to be set to manual update.
    Will this remove the music that's already on the ipod?
    Will I then have to drag each playlist over to the ipod individually to get the new data to the ipod, or will I just click 'update' and have it still be semi automatic?
    will the ipod still update play counts to itunes with this manual update?
