Playing media from iPhone's library on the PC.

My little bro recently showed me how to access and listen to media from his iPod's library while plugged into my computer's usb. I can't seem to do that with my iPhone's library. The library shows up while connected, but remains shaded in light gray and will not allow me to play any of the songs listed in iPhone's library on my pc. Is there something I'm missing? How do I play these songs on my PC while connected to iPhone?

Click here, follow the instructions, and try again.

    You need a CONVERTER, not ADAPTER The setup:
    The following list may help:

  • MediaPlay to play media from an InputStream

    I think there is a compelling use case that needs the MediaPlayer to play media from an InputStream instead of the protocols such as http, file, and jar which are supported by JavaFx right now.
    If your JavaFX runs inside your browser and if you generate some audio on the fly and put it in a byte array in your local memory, there is no way you can play it. None of the available workarounds are elegant. If you attempt to save that audio into a file temporarily and intend to play it from the file, you would need to trouble your users with the security permission pop-up. If you create a webserver programmatically on the client machine, you would also need to ask the users for socket permission. If you try to save the audio into the javafx.io.Storage, you cannot access it as a java.io.File object, thus you cannot use the file:/// protocol anymore. Well, you could send the audio to a remote webserver somewhere and read it back through http, that works but it is plainly silly.
    Above all, if the InputStream is supported by MediaPlayer, all other three (http, file, jar) would be automatically taken care of because all those three can be converted to an InputStream one way or another,
    Also, before an InputStream hits the MediaPlayer, you can process it any way you want. For example, you could place an Ogg Vorbis encoder/decoder along the pipeline between the MediaPlayer and the media source. Then I believe the Ogg Vorbis issue will be resolved automatically.

    I think that is not possible indeed. You can handle InputStream as well saving as a file and read that file long after save it. So the Media from MediaPlayer can read a file using source attribute.
    But I agree with you. The possibilities to handle InputStream directly is more interesting, you can read from a internal file added in jar, can read from a Socket connection without the necessity to save to a file. You can read directly from a database record, so, that resource is more flexible
    I think JavaFX media support aim is focused to read local resources unfortunately.

  • Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

    Everything is updated!!  iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro...  All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices.  iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time!  What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
    Why does iTunes SUCK??
    1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
    2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
    If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
    I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
    Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
    If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
    This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
    Please tell me I am not the only one!!
    ...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
    Very appreciated,
    Joe

  • Copy the media from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer.

    trying to copy the media from your iPod to reconstitute the library on your computer.
    I stored all songs on ipod...updated my OS. I completely wiped out the old microsoft windows and installed windows XP. (I know, bout time.) Besides that I have read that I cannot restore music from my ipod as it is only one way.
    Is there a work around? I have the shuffle (1G). Thanks.

    OK will these work for me also???
    If the songs are in your iPods library there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    You can also transfer song files (or any type of file for that matter) between computers by using the iPod as a removable drive: Using your iPod as a storage drive

    Hello Turintest2,
    I am having a similar problem.  I have over 4000 songs giving me this error.  I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them.  I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user.  Is there a fix for me?  Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
    Here's a shot of my preferences:
    Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash.  However, if I go here:
    Then I find the music there as well.  (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
    Please help!  I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one.

  • AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    AirPort Express has weak signal while playing music from Iphone, intermittent play

    I'm having the same problem, even more:
    - Watching movies over AppleTV: switches off every 20min (sleep mode).
    - Listening to iTunes music ofer AirPlay: the same.
    - A whole confusion with switching airplay destinations (AppleTV, AirportExpress) over iPhone remote app. Sometimes remote cannot find my library anymore
    - Before, I was able to multitask: stream a DVD to AppleTV, using airplay mirroring, and simultaneously stream music from iTunes on the same computer, over the iTunes airplay selector, to loudspeakers connected to AirportExpress. No longer possible.
    I've grown a big Apple fan in short time, proudly living  what for others is the future (your media stored anyhwere, controlled from anywhere, played anywhere, stop thinking in terms of devices). And, I've learnt to savour the  moments when you can look your Microsoft friends deep in the eyes and say: "The big difference with Apple  - it just works"...
    At the moment, I'm trying not to invite my friends.

  • My mac gets slow when I play music from my iTunes library

    Hi, aproximately six months ago I noticed that everytime I play music from my iTunes library that its stored in my 27" iMac's hard drive, the computer gets slow, the images start to flicker, the animatios on the dock and the one when u minimize or maximaze the windows, also flicker. As soon as I close iTunes the computer works fine again. When I play music from a CD this doesn't happen.
    I've taken the iMac to two service providers along theese 6 months and neighther have been able to fix the issue. What they have diagnozed is an issue with the hard drive which has been changed 4 times already.
    What could be the issue?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I'm trying to make a slideshow in iMovie, but when I upload photos from my Aperture Library into the iMovie Photo Browser, some photos (305 out of 427) are missing. How do I get iMovie to upload all of them?

    I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
    Here is the work around:
    Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:
    Save photos to your computer

  • Cannot play songs from iphone or ipad

    I'm sorry if this is a repeated question. But suddenly about 95% of my songs on iphone 3gs have turned into grey color and it cannot be played, either from iphone itself or from itunes in laptop under iphone device. It also happened to my ipad. All albums are transferred but they appear to be grey. 5% of the songs are still black and can be played alright. I'm so frustrated!! I did try everything. Please..if anybody can help me. Thank you...
    I'm not sure if this has anything to do with itunes 10 that I just downloaded or not

    It's that way because that's the way Apple designed it.
    I just merely wish to listen to them using itunes and my pc headphones while it charges the unit.
    You can still connect headphones to the iPhone and listen while your PC changes the iPhone. Until Apple changes things, that's it.
