Problems converting songs to 128kbs automatically.

I can no longer automatically convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbs to save space on my iphone 4. 99% of songs show up but, appear grayed out and will not play. Is this a common problem and does anyone know of a fix? itunes and ios are up to date.

Thank you for mentioning that as it led me to the problem and such an easy fix too. I went back in to verify again that it was the full version and it was, BUT i still had the time checked when I was making the ringtone, therefore, the full version is on my phone, but only plays the from the start time.
Thanks!!

Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles?

I must be losing my mind!
Wasn't there an option to convert songs to 128kbs for shuffles in earlier versions of itunes? Before 7.x?

it's still there (at least it is on mine). Connect the shuffle and go to it's Settings tab."Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" is in the Options section at the bottom.

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.

Audio problem-- converting song to AIFF doesn't stop pops and cracks!!

i've converted mp3s to AIFF both thru itunes and quicktime. when i import them to my FCP HD timeline, they still sound distorted-- with the same cracks and slowness as it does when i try to play an mp3 without converting the song format.
i have made settings 48/16bit to match my footage.
why isn't this working? any tips?

hi david,
thanks for trying to help. i'm still having the audio problem-- the aiffs sound clean in both quicktime and itunes, crackly and distorted in fcphd.
my fcp sequence setting is for 1080i/60 HDV 29.97fps with audio set to 48khz/16bit stereo.
any ideas would be appreciated!

Cannot Find File - Convert higher bitrate songs to 128kb AAC on an iPhone??

I ran out of room on my iPhone 3G, so I checked the "Convert higher bitrate songs to 128kb AAC" option. I had already made an 'iPhone' playlist as the only playlist synched with iTunes, and the playlist reduced its iPhone footprint by roughly 25%. It worked well except for several songs that "could not be found" by iTunes. These are all songs for which I have the CD, and play perfectly in iTunes (and on the iPhone before the conversion).
I have tried deleting the songs from my 'iPhone' playlist, iTunes, and my hard drive and reinstalling from the CD (first to iTunes then to the iPhone playlist) - ALL with reboots and permission repairs between reinstalls. These 13 songs seem to be impossible to convert, despite several other songs from the same CDs converting perfectly!!!
After each attempt, iTunes goes through and re-evaluates the gaps, which takes time. This is not a problem, I just note it for diagnostic purposes.
How do I resolve this perplexing and vexing conversion problem? The songs ARE on the hard drive, and iTunes CAN find them (because they play in other playlists and played before the conversion) they just do not seem to convert.
Help!

Everything is up to date, except for the security patch released yesterday. That is on the list for a 'today task' but I have not gotten to it yet.

iTunes cannot convert protected WMA tracks. There may also be problems if it can't get full access permissions. What exactly are you trying to do when the error occurs?

Problem deleting songs---HELP!!!

I'm having problem deleting songs,when i select the ipod icon in the screen of ituns i can't select NOTHING FROM THE LIST,and in the lower right hand a "lock" is locked,(is next to the GB numbers.Can anyone help me to unlocked that thing?
Oh i almost forget, i'm sure that the hold button isn' he reason for this,coz i checked that it wasn't locked.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try unchecking the songs you want deleted in your iTunes library. Then connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences. Hit the iPod tab. Check "Only update checked songs". Click OK.
Here are some other options...
Deleting Songs or Playlists from your iPod
Finally, you cannot select anything under the iPod because you are automatically updating. That is normal behavior.

PROBLEM CONVERTING MSWORD & MSPROJECT TO PDF!

Hi,
I'm running Vista, Office 2007 (inc. MSProject) and have Acrobat 8 Professional.
I'm having all sorts of problems converting. I don't know whether its someting to do with the pathing, since I first installed on D drive, rather than C. I just copied the entire Adobe folder from D to C.
The program allows me to convert URLs to PDF. But every time I try to convert a Word Doc, or MS Project Document, even small ones, I keep getting error messages, or it just freezes on 10%... Or says it can't do it... I'm getting so frustrated...
And yes I've run the repair, rebooted, but still have same probs...
Can someone please suggest something!

Do you have the Adobe PDF printer listed in the printers. If so, then print to the Adobe PDF printer (don't use print to file, the printer is set to ask for a file name or create one on the fly).
If you do not have the printer, then that is your problem. The Create PDF button will not work without the printer.
AcroTray is necessary for the printer to complete the process of conversion to a PDF automatically. If it is not active, then you have to print to file and then open the prn file in Distiller to create the PDF. From you statement about the missing PDF files, it likely is that you do not have PDF Maker installed correctly. Try the printer and if that works, then you have a PDF Maker issue.

Problem with song names

Hey, I'm having this problem with song names. For example, instead of the song title being "Song Title" it will be like "Artist Name - Song Title". It's like this for half my files. I'm trying to organize my music files and every time I fix it, it keeps going back.
This has happened to me before and usually if I double click it, it will automatically change. This time, nothing seems to work except doing it manually ("Get Info)" and that would take too long since I have 7,000 files like this. I posted this on another board and somebody said to right click the songs and click Update ID3 v2.4 which originally worked, but now nothing but manually doing it works.
This is like this when I open it for other programs, but I know iTunes caused. I think it has something to do with the "Keep my iTunes Folder Organized" check because iTunes renames the file. I also tried reinstalling itunes and readding my files.
Thanks for any help!

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say, but iTunes doesn't automatically change your tag information.
iTunes stores a copy of the tag information in the library database. When you play a track, iTunes re-reads the tag information from the song file and updates the library data. This produces the efferct that iTunes appears to change tag information but it isn't, it is meerly reflecting a change that already happend.
Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tag information? For example Windows Media player can do it if you select an option to retrieve data from the internet and overwrite existing info. But other software may do it too.
If you want to force iTunes to re-read all tags, go to your Music view and go to Edit>>Select All. Then right click in the selection and choose Get Info. Don't change anything, just exit by clicking OK. iTunes will update the library with the tag information from the song files.

How can I get a song to play automatically on a web page ? iWeb 1.1.2

Can I get a song to play automatically when my web page opens? iWeb 1.1.2

As long as you don't mind doing a little post publish editing of your .js files, it's fairly easy to do. You will find them in this path on your iDisk, using the Go menu in Finder:
Go/iDisk/MyiDisk/Sites/iWeb/Nameofsitefolder/Page_filesFolder/Page.js
Open the .js files for that particular page on your iDisk with any text editor (I like Taco, and it's free) and make the following changes to the script code that controls your movie: (you will find the movie code near the top of the page in the .js file)
Change autoplay="false" to autoplay="true"
Change loop="false" to loop="true"
Changing controller value="true" to controller value="false" will remove the controller from the page entirely. Make these changes in both sets of tags, (object and embed).
Make the changes and just "Save". Clear your browser cache and you should see the changes take effect immediately. Bear in mind you will have to make this modification each time you republish your site. You can also save this modified .js file and replace the republished file with it, as long as no other changes were made to the page in iWeb.

A problem with low efficiency of automatically connect to Wi-Fi with my ipad2

Hi,
There is a problem with low efficiency of automatically connect to Wi-Fi with my ipad2. It would not take quite long time to connect to wifi with my iphone and imac, but only happened on my ipad2.
any helps would be appraciated !
Thanks

Hi, Justin.
Thank you for the question. Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder

How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder? Is this done via settings somehow?
Stated another way......songs recently added to my music folders in the iTunes libary are not updated in the media library automatically. How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder?
Still another way......I'm trying to backup songs in my iTunes library by dragging them into a flash drive. But I noticed that not all songs are included in the iTunes Media folder from which I am making my backup file. Is there a better way to do a backup? If not, how do I get the iTunes Media file updated to include all songs in my iTunes library?

In ITunes,
my library was about 55 G. I have a Ipod Classic 160 G. I synchronised my IPod
on ITunes and I checked the tag Convert
songs with a throughput greater than 128 kbit / s ACC before
synchronisation I took maybe 6 hours to synchronise, and afterward my library was
about 42 G. All my tunes, more than 9500, seem still be in library. Most of my
library is from music purchased in ITunes store along with copies on my old CDs
an some MP3 files from other discs. This is good for me but what happened?

This is good for me but what happened?
I don't understand the question... Did something happen that you think should not have happened?
It took such a long time to sync, because iTunes was converting songs with bit-rate higher than 128 kbps "on the fly" while syncing. That takes much longer than just syncing the songs.
Also, since you have so much space on your iPod (compared to the size of your music library), you should not use that "convert to 128 kbps AAC" setting. For songs that are encoded higher than 128 kbps, the conversion reduces sound quality. You may want to uncheck Sync Music and Apply, to remove the songs on the iPod currently, and then sync it all again without the "convert" setting checked this time.
