Sharing a recorded song (mine) with others who have a PC

Using a Macbook Pro, Mountain Lion and I Tunes.
I have 8 songs I recorded years ago (my own) that were on a DVD. I have them now as files in I Tunes where they can be played locally.
I have a friend with a PC who would like to hear the music. Can someone please advise me if these songs can be uploaded to a free site where they can be accessed by my friend and played on their PC using Windows of course.
The files are .m4a
I'm not familiar with handing audio files at all and am not all that savvy with I Tunes generally.
Can someone please advise a path to accomplish what I'd like to do with this music?
Many thanks
Dudley Henriques

I understand Windows Media Player will open it.........is that right????
It should, depending on what the file type is.
I had tried emailing one of these .m4a files a while back before OSX 10. There was something about not being able to email the file due to some kind of restriction. Has this changed with the new I Tunes perhaps?
Emailing has nothing to do with iTunes.

  • HT6312 How do I use Numbers, Mavericks, and sharing to collaborate with others who have PCs/Macs like I did last week?

    Last week I used numbers in a very efficient way to collaborate with colleagues.
    Yesterday I was required to upgrade to iCloud Drive in order for others to view my documents and edit them.
    Now I cannot use the Numbers application on my mac to update these documents and publish them back to the cloud until Yosemite.
    (not all Numbers functionality is available via the web app) (Yosemite Beta not available at work)
    How is a decision made to eliminate a top line collaboration feature a month before folks can update?
    My work flow is shot and I must resort to Google Docs and ridicule for trying to make Apple "business" apps work.
    From the iWork Support Document:
    ***You’ll be prompted to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive when you install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite, or launch Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on iCloud.com.
    ***Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.
    BUT
    ***You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Thanks Apple!

    A SIMPLE METHOD FOR REVERTING FROM MAVERICKS BACK TO AN EARLIER OS X VERSION
    There were so many caveats and side issues included on various instructions that didn't apply to me that I thought it was a bit confusing. However, I got the idea that restarting while pressing down the option key would give me access to the Recovery drive. I tried it and it gave me several choices. The top one was irresistible. It says "Restore From Time Machine Backup." I had done full backups using Time Machine to both an internal hard drive on my MacPro and an external hard drive just before installing Mavericks. I clicked on "Restore From Time Machine Backup" and selected the external drive since I wasn't sure that the internal drive would work. The internal backup drive is faster, but I felt the external drive was a safer bet. A window came up asking me to choose which backup I wanted to use. I picked the one I made just before installing Mavericks and it went to work. It took a couple of hours to finish, but as it restarted and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 appeared on the screen, I was totally relieved. I feel liberated. Everything works. No wacky glitches to say "gotcha!"
    When you consider all of the written instructions, many of which are very difficult to follow, this very simple method of restoration is amazingly easy. I hope it helps others who are considering moving to OS X 10.9. Just get a good external Time Machine backup of your present system before you venture.

  • Are there pepes out there using ipads to make group music with children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties? I am and I'd love to share the ideas.

    Are there pepes out there using ipads to make group music with children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties? I am and I'd love to share the ideas.
    I am the music teacher in a  Special school in London UK currently working with Drake Music who are a charity that go into schools to enable music making through music technology. Our purpose is to enable a group of 7 children who have profound and multiple learning difficulties to play instruments on the ipads or through the soundbeam and to be able to play and jam together with me underscoring on the guitar. We're having a lot of fun and we're all learning a lot about what can be achieved using the amazing ipad technology. If you're doing a similar project I'd love to hear from you and we can swap notes!

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    You can use iTunes to easily manage multiple devices by having each sync with selected playlists. I don't personally have any recommendations for other software but perhaps others might.

    Make the iTunes window wider.
    It is on the far right.

  • I do not have many messages but my iphone 5s says messages take up 4.6GB of space.  When comparing with friends who have many more message, less than 1 GB is being used on their phones.  Why are mine taking up so much space and how do I correct that?

    I do not have that many messages on my new iPhone 5s (maybe about 15 conversations and only one or two going back a little ways) yet when I go to Settings, Usage it shows that my messages are taking up 4.6GB of space.  When comparing with others (some who have hundeds of messages) they are using under 1GB for their messages.  Why are mine taking up so much space??

    I found a post with this solution that worked for me - .Do a backup, then download ibackupbot. It lets you look into the contents of that backup. Look in system files>mediadomain>library>sms>attachments. I found a ton of huge files related to long deleted texts. ibackupbot let me delete all that old crap. I then restored the phone with that now modifec backup and Bingo! freed up 9 GB. No problems.
    But note, if you are not technically inclined you probaly don't want to be digging around and deleting back up files. You delete the wrong thing and you could jack up your phone badly. Be careful.

  • Sharing pics and their keywords with others

    G'day all,
    I have been using iphoto for a long time now and like the new version very much.
    I work on a sailing ship and get a lot of photos, some of my own and a lot from others. quite often I have to share them with others i.e. for press, graphic designers, and previous crew who want photos of their trip. So i export a lot of photos and often to non apple users. I also have to find photos with reference names rather the dates or events
    For this reason I try to label photos with many references such as names of people, locations, voyage numbers, copyright, and even with names of parts of the ship. (we are a museum replica so artefacts and parts of the ship are used for graphic design or press photos). So if Bill rings me and wants a disk of photos with Bill in them, I want to be able to search Bill, burn them to disk, and when he looks at them he will also see the reference names in the title
    I love the simplicity and speed of the new keywords feature, but was wandering if that same feature could be applied to the titles of photos. I only seem to be able to export photos to non iphoto users with the titles. As you can imagine, entering all of this information into the titles is a bit laborious.
    I hope there is a way, if someone could let me know that would be great. Maybe there is another program like aperture that can do it.
    if there isn't, then could this please be considered for future upgrades. data basing photos is important, but so is sharing the information with others even if they are not able to be lucky enough to buy apple.
    Sorry this is a bit long winded. this is my first time. I will keep them shorter from now on.

    See in things
    Welcome to the apple user discussions
    I want to be able to search Bill, burn them to disk, and when he looks at them he will also see the reference names in the title
    Make a smart album of photo with Bill as a keyword - select the photos in that album and export them using the titles as the file names

  • Recording birthday dates with other contact information

    I would like to be able to record birthday dates along with other contract info in my phone directory and at the same time, have my calendar app. "remember" and "record" these dates so that I will automatically be reminded of upcoming birthdays without making a separate entry.
    I could do that on my Blackberry but not with the Razr. Any suggestions.
    Pjone3rd

    I remember signing into my Google calendar from a computer  and adding a calendar called contacts birthdays. Then whichever Gmail/Google contacts had birthdays and any I added afterwards were added to that calendar and synced with my phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sharing Address Book (and groups) With Others

    I know there is a way to share address book with others through mac.com, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do it without mac.com ...

    Yes, there are quite a few other options. I developed a solution for this called Address Book and Calendar Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com). There seems to be also an option to use Google etc.
    PS: I am the developer of AddressBookServer.com and naturally biased towards it.

  • Is there a site where you can share your garageband tracks with others you have not met?

    It would be fun to interact with other musicians whom you have not met yet to share ideas and songs.  Is there such a site?

    Open a Soundcloud account http://soundcloud.com Its free. Create a profile, follow a few people who's music you like, join the Garageband group and others of interest. It won't take long before you appreciate the community there.

  • How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??

    I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music.  Can we do that??

    There are sharing abilities built into iTunes.  In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
    I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music.  I have taken a different route.  I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
    From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
    Select Get Info
    At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
    Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
    Select you daughters id. and add her.
    Give her Read Access.
    Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
    Have you daughter do the same for you.  You will now have access to each others music.
    There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
    To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method.  Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right).  Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name).  Files will appear in the finder window.  Select the icon view option.  You should see album artwork.  Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does).  Click on the play button.  If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info.  There is a play button in the preview section.  You can also play with Quick View.
    To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
    From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well)  Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
    Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder.  Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes.  If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
    Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing.  There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
    Phew!  Hope that helped.
    Dan
    P.S.  Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff.

  • How do I share a folder on mac mini with other macs in the network?

    Howdy all!
    The scenario I have in mind is that I have one folder in our Mac Mini (used as Home Theater) with all the family's music files on it. The rest of the family would be able to access the folder and copy the music they prefer onto their own computers (iMacs and Macbooks). The other computers would have read only access, they would not be able to alter the contents of the original file (to prevent accidental deletion). Only the user of the Mini Home Theater could alter the contents of said file.
    I have tried pulling up the "Get Info" window and clicking the "Shared Folder" and "Locked" boxes, but all this seems to do is make the user of the Mac Mini unable to alter the contents of the folder. All the other macs on the network can access and alter the folder contents no problem.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you for any advice you can give!

    This isn't quite what I was looking for. I don't want to share the folder with users on the same computer--I want to share the folder with users on other computers.
    Unless there is some way to identify users on other computers. How can I do that?

  • How to sync the iTunes songs library with other two computers thru iPhone?

    I have three Apple computers, the main being iMac 24", on which I usually purchase music from iTunes and import from my CDs. Thus, it has the biggest collection of songs, roughly about 1200. I also sync my iPhone 3GS 32 GB with this comp, and songs fill in slightly more than 6 GB on iPhone. But then when I sync my iPhone with the MacBook Air or my old PowerBook G4, about 2 GB of songs disappear, reducing the songs library to what is on the computers, while I'd like to transfer all songs (newly purchased and imported) from the iPhone to those comps, too, which are BTW, respectively authorized.
    Seems to be a simple issue, and I read all Help content, and tried all iTunes Menu functions, but can't solve it! Any help from real Apple experts?

    here are some reads that may be helpful:

  • Your latest upgrade states that it is incompatible with my Avast Virus protection and others who have McAfee have the same problem. Does this mean if we update Firefox it will interfere with our virus software?

    Your new recommended update appears incompatible with my and other's virus protection. How can we be sure we can safely navigate if your security on the older versions of firefox are lifted? It seems that many people are having this problem and have said they will return to Internet Explorer. Please advise as I prefer Firefox but cannot take the chance of malware and other infections. I would appreciate a hasty response.

    No, it doesn't affect your anti-virus program, only the silly little extensions that some anti-virus applications install into Firefox that duplicate features which are built into Firefox = anti-phishing & web forgery protection.

  • Sharing files in Creative Clouds with clients who do not have InDesign. Can they make type changes?

    I have a client who would like to edit an InDesign file in the Cloud. Is this possible? I could not find any tools in the Cloud that supports this. Though, I thought this was a benefit of having it in the cloud that people didn't need to have InDesign.

    Thank you for the feature request.
    Currently someone without InDesign can view each page (spread) of an InDesign document from the Files page at https://creative.adobe.com/files. They can also make comments.
    To make changes to the file you do need to have InDesign installed.

  • Sharing folders on my cloud with other members of my team

    i recently applied for and was given early access to Creative Cloud file and Typekit font syncing. The syncing part works fine, but I am only able to send links to individual files and not folders. the other members of my team are able to send links to actual folders.

    Right now, only sharing of public links to individual files is supported.  Folder sharing is not supported at this time. 
    And while we're talking about file and folder sharing, can you give us more details on the sharing features that would be valuable to you? Can you describe them in the context of your team's current workflow?
    Thanks,
    Elba
