Hello sneek7,
You can use iTunes to convert a song to an MP3 version following the steps in the article below:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
One thing to keep in mind is that you will still have the original version of the song in iTunes as well as the MP3 version, so when you are syncing with your new device, be sure you are selecting the MP3 version to sync. 
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

  • Please help! I want my music back! I can't live without music!!

    I just got a new PC and we downloaded iTunes as soon as we got it. My dads library was on there already so I decided to make my own. I synced my iPod and next thing you know all of my bought music is gone. How can I recover it? It was about 40 songs. And I bought all of them! If I can't get them back, can I get a refund?

    You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  Do you have the other music on another computer so you can move it to the new computer?  Apple has been know to sometimes authorize a redownload.  You can contact them here (select iTunes account and billing).

  • Please help, desperately need to get iTunes back on my computer

    Hello all, I will make this as short as possible.
    I just installed a new, larger and faster HD on my Dell Inspiron 5150. It is the same brand as the other and is working fine. I use backup software and retored my HD to the same condition that it was in before the change. I started iTunes and retrieved my Podcasts and even loaded a CD on it. I was in the process of backing up the HD and I wanted to load the podcasts and CD onto my iPod. It would not connect to iTunes no matter what I did. I stopped the backup and it still would not connect.
    I decided to re-install iTunes, went to the Apple site, downloaded the program and it would not install over the old version. I then deleted the older version using add/remove programs and tried to install. When I click on <<Run>>, I get a flash on the screen of Quicktime and then nothing. I then deleted Quicktime from the HD and the same thing kept happening.
    I came here and saw a post about Norton so I disabled that and again the same. Then I saw a post about installing Quicktime first, same result. I can see <<quicktime>> and a progression bar for only an instant each time. I am rebooting between all these tries by the way.
    Can anyone PLEASE help me to get my iTunes back. I do not have a disc. Can I buy one at Best Buy?? Everything is running fine but it just will not begin the installation.
    If there is a solution on this board already, please point me to it. I need iTunes, I don't think I can function without it?? what could have gone wrong??? Again Please, PLEASE help me out.
    Thanks so much in advance. I will keep searching for answers in the meantime.
    Mike (PLEASE HELP)

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    I change my apple ID and password like a week now and after changing all my information and MY apple ID, i noticed that i lost all my picture in my camer roll and my photo stream too ;(.. Can anyone please help me how to bring it back all my photos?

    I don't know about your camera roll, but for photostream just do this:
    Go into Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign back in using your Apple ID information.
    Make sure to do the same thing with your iTunes and App Store options.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > Click Email and sign out, then sign back in.

  • HT1414 I had a new phone and I clicked some pictures and then I restore my new phone with the old back up and I lost my new clicked photos...please help me how can I get back those photos?

    You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

    It would appear that your system is somewhat mangled, and it is time for some general 'servicing'.
    Start here:
    Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
    Background information here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US
    and here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US
    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

    Reboot your Mac and then perform a Safe Boot:

    Now try downloading and installing again.

  • PLEASE HELP: iTunes Lib. crashed, need playlists back!

    My iPod broke last week, so it got a new hard drive, and will be back tommorrow. Today, my iTunes library totally crashed.. I still have the library files and all that say (damaged) and the temp files, the xml, ets.. I can reimport my songs, I don't care, I just REALLY need my playlists back.. Please help...
    iTunes 7.0.2

    A damaged library cannot be repaired.
    If you still have the files in your 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and don't mind to loose the changes you've made since upgrading from iTunes 6 to iTunes 7, there might be a way to restore as much as possible.
    Locate the most recent file in the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder.
    My most recent file in there is 'iTunes Library 2006-09-12' (the day I upgraded to iTunes 7).
    Create a copy of that file, rename it to 'iTunes Library' and put it at /Users/Username/Music/iTunes, replacing the existing one.
    Then run iTunes. It should recognize the iTunes 6 format of the file and start determining 'gapless playback information' again.
    After a while you should have your library back.
    All changes you made after upgrading to iTunes 7 are lost of course, but song files you added are still there.
    If your songs files are at the default location (/Users/Username/Music/iTunes) and the 'iTunes Music folder location' (Preferences>Advanced>General) is also set to that location, drag and drop the 'iTunes Music' folder on the library window in iTunes.
    This will add the songs you added since upgrading to iTunes 7, to the library.
    I've done a test of this a few weeks ago and it worked flawless except for Podcasts. Many Podcast entries in the library were duplicated.
    No big deal if you don't have them or maybe a few, but a real annoyance if you have many of them.
    Hope this helps.

  • Please help me move my iTunes music from PC to external drive to laptop.

    Okay, please, please help me!
    And please know that I'm VERY computer illiterate and VERY frustrated right now. I've searched through dozens of answers to this questions and don't understand any of them. I don't know what a file is or what a folder is and I don't know how to "find" my iTunes folder. I have about 100 albums on iTunes and want to transfer them over to my laptop. I bought an external hard drive today don't know how to use it and the manual is useless.
    I've looked at countless posts on here and most of them are riddled with terminology I don't understand. When you tell me to "find" my iTUNES folder...I don't know what that means or how to do that.
    Please help me and keep in mind that you'll need to explain everything NOT LIKE I'M A 3 YEAR OLD....3 YEAR OLDS KNOW HOW TO DO THIS CRAP! Talk to me like a very, very computer illiterate adult. The PC(where the music is now)runs Windows XP and the laptop(where I want the music to be) is running Windows Vista
    I will be forever grateful!
    Thank you!
    S-

    Ok. Update. I think I have my iTunes library on my external drive. Now, I need to know how to get it onto my laptop. When I "import" into iTunes, it only lets me bring over one album at a time. Even then, when I unplug the external drive, it says that the file cannot be found and won't play. However, if the external drive is plugged in, it will play the album.
    Thanks!

  • Very frastrated. Please HELP! SX712 problem copying music from latptop to IC recorder

    It worked before. I haven't used it for a while. Now, I wasted hours to try to solve this problem to no avail.
    When I connected my SX712 IC Recorder to my laptop, I could see 3 folders: MUSIC, PODCAST and VOICE and one file: capability_01.
    I copied a bunch of MP4 files to the MUSIC folder and then disconnected the IC Recorder from the laptop.
    On the IC Recorder, I pressed the "folder" button. Only MUSIC and BOOKS were shown next to the Conversation icon. The Conversation icon was the only icon showing on the left panel. There was no MUSIC or PODCAST icons or any of the files that I copied over which were visible to me when the IC Recorder was connected to the laptop.
    What did I do wrong?
    Please HELP!
    Many Thanks in advance...Mimi

    Hi Mimi! The ICD-SX712 Digital Voice Recorder only supports MP3, WMA, AAC-LC and PCM files. MP4 files are not supported.

  • My macbook pro is not booting up.I haven't backed up my data .apple is offering me to replace the device . could you please help me on hoe do I back up my data

    Please help me back my my data . My system is not booting up.There is some hardware issue.
    Apple is ready to replace my device. But before that I need ro back up my data.

    OK - now it's great that you got into the Recovery partition. When you hold down the option key, do you see your internal hard drive as well? If so, try booting into it and making sure that you set it as your start-up volume in System Preferences.
    If you don't see your hard drive...
    What you should do now is open Disk Utility. You want to see if it recognizes "Macintosh HD" (or whatever you've named your hard drive). If it does, select it and select "Verify Disk". It is likely that you will find some errors - if you do, select "Repair Disk". If the disk repairs successfully, you might want to just reboot and see if you can boot into your normal disk.
    If there are no repairs needed after you verify your disk, try repairing permissions. You'll usually always have some permissions that need to be repaired. After this, try booting into your regular disk.
    Good luck - call back - I'll be up for quite some time.

  • HT4847 Please help me how to reinstall icloud back up from specific date. (eg. back up from 1.02.13).

    My phone was not backed up on icloud due to excess storage size for one month. Recently i lost some contacts by accident. and it was backed up on icloud again this morning .so I would like to reinstall from last month back up to get all contacts back. but when i connected to computer, I only have a choice to reinstall from last 5 months ago which was backed up on my computer manually. So, please help me how to choose to reinstall icloud back up from specific date from last month (eg. 02.02.2013). Thank you very much.

    You cannot selectively restore from iCloud. You can only do a full device restore by resetting the device and choosing to restore from the iCloud backup during the setup process.
