PLEASE HELP! QUICK WAY TO CONVERT ENTIRE PROTECTED AAC TO MP3

Hello,
What is the fastest way to convert about 350 songs to MP3 from the protected AAC format. All songs were purchased from the iTunes Music Store, but I want to burn then all onto a DVD to play in my DVD player. Thank you for your super fast responses!

Well to answer your question, I do not know of any.
But also it is against the terms of use for these forums to discuss ways in which the protection of iTunes purchased songs can be circumvented. Likely, as soon as one of the moderators runs across this thread, it will be locked from further posts.
Sorry,
Patrick

Please help before it kills my entire library!

I’m sure this has come up before but I have to ask.
When I add new songs to my iTunes, it will “misplace” older ones and adds exclamation points to them?
At first I thought this was because I had to have my hard drive replaced and it lost the original songs but the more songs I add, the more get “lost” and now its started to affect the songs that I have purchased from iTunes recently so I KNOW its not due to the hard drive replacement. What can I do? Way too many of my songs are exclamationed now. I backed up the list several weeks ago because I had a suspicion this was what was wrong. The weird part is, even though the songs are gone in iTunes, it doesn’t delete them from the iPod. Even if I clear those songs. It will add the new ones just fine, but it won’t delete the old ones. There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason to the deletion of my songs. They just go as I add more. I have 330 songs and 70 of them are exclamationed. I had more but started deleting them before I figured out what was happening. So far, I seems to only happen when I add new music, no matter where its from. It even happens when I purchase from iTunes. Please help before it kills my entire library!
I have an 8 gig iPod so I know its not because its full. Oh, and Im running on an older Gateway, but I can’t even begin to tell you what year or anything and OS is Windows XP Pro. I also have the latest version of iTunes and update regularly. Any other info you need?
I haven’t needed to lately, but Im scared for if I need to restore my iPod. (I have had to do it once before) Im sure that it will delete the songs that have been preserved that were deleted on the tunes. One more thing, it APPEARS to be mixing up the artwork on the iPod itself with other artists. For example, my Kerli artwork is now my Matchbox 20 artwork and so on. That problem is only with a few songs though.
Any ideas? Thanks SO much for trying to help!

Check your Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Music folder location to make sure that it is correct. Also, is "Keep iTunes Music folder organized checked"? Have you tried to Consolidate Library? (Note: I'm not saying to do that, yet, just asking if you have.) Have you used Windows Explorer to actually locate your music?
I've seen where iTunes could be "missing" a song but not indicate it with the exclamation mark until some action is attempted -- moving, dragging, playing. For me it would be because I forgot to turn on the external drive where my music is stored. But then, once I mount the drive, I still have to point iTunes to its Music folder again.

Is there a quick way to convert Albums to Projects?

Due to bringing in legacy organizing from iView MediaPro into Aperture years ago... I have an organizational structure consisting of few top level Projects containing many Albums. I now realize I should have few top level Folders containing many Projects (which contain Albums when necessary).
So the question is... is there a quick way to convert an Album to a Project? If I have to create a new Project for each Album I have by hand... this will take forever as I have hundreds of Albums.
Thanks!

Doing it manually is what I'm trying to avoid... I have a LOT of albums. I started trying to script it but I am trying to piece it together with my uber limited applescript knowledge... here's what I've got:
tell application "Aperture 3"
set imgSel to (get selection)
if imgSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
set pName to name of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set pID to id of parent of item 1 of imgSel
set cID to id of parent of parent of item 1 of imgSel
tell library "Aperture Library"
make new project with properties {name:pName}
repeat with i from 1 to count of imgSel
move item i of imgSel to project (pName)
end repeat
end tell
end if
end tell
It's ghetto (there's some stuff I need to comment out that wasn't used) and it seemed to work in the test library I setup, but when I went back there were some weird thumbnail issues so I'm scared... not to mention it doesn't seem to work in the actual library for some reason. It won't create the new project. Weird.

Please Help - Nokia 6500c Video converting

Hi, could you please help me - what is the best way to upload video? I just bought the phone, which is great, but Nokia's software is really slow and the Suite hangs up almost every time. If I convert a .avi with it, only audio remains. What programs do you use for video conversion and what selections seem to give the best quality? Thanks!
6500c, 6030

This feature is not available on the phone. However, you can achieve this by downloading applications from the Nokia Store or from another third party website.
Reminder: For third party applications, security and compatibility with the phone is not guaranteed.

I tryed to update my iphone, now its saying i have to connect with itunes but when i plug it into a computer the only option is to restore it, i would lose all my things please help quick.

so recently i wanted to load my friends music onto my phone because my laptop broke and i had no other way to get my music. i loged out of my itunes so the music could load without any problems. i tryed to so an update on the softwear today and my phone says i need to conncect to itunes, but when i try the only option is to restore it! that would mean all my things on my phone GONE. please help i cant live without a phone for long but i dont want to have to restore it. pleaseee please tell me somone can help.

The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way.

Is there a quick way to replace entire sets of styles?

I am currently working on updating InDesign templates that the rest of our team use to start translating different versions of our books. In the template we have the guides and text boxes all created as well a sets of styles to use.. (Headers, Body, Captions..etc).
They started on an older version of this template and I've just updated it by re-defining all the styles. Is there a way I can replace a document's styles with an entirely new set?
The styles are all named the same from the previous versions - but currently I still have to go delete each style and apply the 'new' style - one by one. This takes a while when we have nearly 100 styles. Is there a quicker way to do this? Or am I looking at this whole template thing wrong?
Is there a tutorial or a video explaining the philosophy behind these templates? Basically, we create new books or documents all the time and although they go to different typesetters, I would like them all to use the same 'standard' styles.

When you load styles that have the same names you should get a dialog that lets choose whether to update the existing style with the incoming style or rename the incoming:

Bouncing entire song..a quick way to choose "entire song" besides Locators?

When I am bouncing an entire song, is there a quick way, or default option, to choose the entire song? I understand that I can easily set the Locators, but then what's the purpose of having the "end" marker available? I am trying to save myself the step of setting the Locators every time. Thanks!

Hi,
you need to set Locators (as Cubase requires)...
But Logic is different...
So after set Locators you must hit on Cycle button in order to activate the left and right locators points... (this is a Logic pro feature)
There is also another way:
you can Select All tracks/regions in the arrange window...
The resulting bounce will be exactly the same size/time as region selected...
Logic allow you to bounce only a part of the song (NO sets Locators is needed)
Just select one or more regions = the resulting Bounce will be strictly related within the starting/ending points of the regions that you are selected...
As you can see... Logic is different
*you don't need to use Locators!!!*
*Just select the portion of regions that you want bounce!!!*
this is the logical way of Logic pro.
(you can also create an Empty region .... if you select the empty region Logic bounce will be the same as the size of the region selected)
There is also a 3rd way: on the bounce window you can set manually the Locators... if you use this way... this is the Main way...
if you set locators in the bounce window all previous suggestion will be bypassed
This 3rd way is the Main Locators Bounce size window.

HT5312 I really need help. I forgot my security question answers and i dont remember them. I dont know how to get to this email thing and i dont remember if i ever set one up or not.. Please help quickly

I forgot my security questions and i dont know how to get to the email rescue and don't think i ever set one up with my account.. Please help me !!!!

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Can't Block Numbers (PLEASE HELP QUICKLY)

Ok, this is the second time I've used MyVerizon, and the second time I've had problems with it. And from the looks of it, I'm not the only one. I know there are threads about this already but I need help quickly but I can't call customer support at the moment.
Anyway, I need to block a number or two as quickly as possible. However, I can't do it because 90% of the things on MyVerizon aren't working. It says something like "Couldn't verify your account." or something like that. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I downloaded the MyVerizon app for my Droid and I got the same problem. I need help VERY fast, and I'm hoping that I can get some. Thank you.

Sorry about your issues.Make sure that you are login into vzw.com with your user id or 10 digit mtn and password, once logged in click on the tab of safeguards located under my Verizon. At the top second tab select call and message blocking to add the 2 numbers that you want to block...hope this helps!

Quick way to convert many files from AIFF to MP3

I have a large collection of CDs and until now, did not have a computer or an iPod to hold all of them. I borrowed a friends external hard drive and copied all of the cd files onto it. I just recently bought a MacBook Pro, and loaded all of the files into my iTunes... Only to find that since I couldn't import the cds into an iTunes in the first place, only the file names transferred over- not the album/artist info. So I have been spending a lot of time adding that info manually. I also just realized that all of the files were in AIFF format, and not MP3 so they are taking up a large amount of space on my itunes. I have not yet gotten a better iPod, so they are just sitting in my iTunes right now. I was hoping there is an easy way to convert them all to MP3 without having duplicates in my iTunes to weed through. I have 4000+ songs, so that would take a while.
also, if there is some magical way to get the artist/album info without having to type it all in, that would be great too.
thanks in advance.

Yes highlight the ones you want to convert and follow the instructions in this support document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
without having duplicates in my iTunes to weed through. I have 4000+ songs, so that would take a while.
There is no weeding necessary. After the converion completes, sort by Date Added and all the new ones will be together.

Pretty please help, Quick newb question...

I have a dell axim x50. I have the jad and jar files. How can I make my application work on the PDA??
I've simulated with toolkit, and such.
Please Please help ><

The act of getting the jar from a pc to the device is called "provisioning"
Some devices let you do this over bluetooth or IR and many others only allow it over http.
I used to use some free web midlet hosting sites but the ones i used have been shut down now. (do a search on the net for "Free Midlet Hosting")
These days i set up a web server on my development machine and then just use the phones wap browser to download the program.

Problems converting song from AAC to MP3 in iTunes

hi,
I have just downloaded some songs from the iTunes store and they download in the AAC format, I usually right hand click on a song and convert it to MP3 file, however I have one song "animal by neon trees" that it keeps coming up with an error but it says it is an unknown error. this is what it says
error occured while converting the file "animal". an unknown error occurred (-3)
has anyone else encountered this issue??
please help
ps. i have the latest version of itunes, i have also converted other songs today not a problem.

Hi affilgraph,
Yes, it can be done. First, go to iTunes preferences, choose "Advanced", click on the "Import" Tab and select "MP3 encoder" next to "Import Using". Close the window. Now select the files in questions, go to the "Advanced" menu and choose "Convert selection to MP3". However, if your files are already encoded to AAC this will not decrease the size of your library significantly AND you will lose sound quality. In addition, converting your library in one go might bring your computer to its knees risking data loss. So, I would recommend buying a bigger HD instead.
