Sound is heavy, muddy on some DL's from Itunes, other sources too!

I know that the EQ is there. After trying all of the settings on the EQ, I'm not impressed. This has been happening forever (4-5 years) but it finally got my attention. I have encountered a couple of albums that are just too bass-y from the source. Is there any program that can be used to drop off some 'middle', drop off a small amount of bass, and boost treble, then reload the albums? I mean a freestanding (if necessary) program where I can load the series of songs, lighten up the tone, and then reload them into the iTunes folder where they belong, by overwriting the original?

you could use audacity, which is a free open source audio editing software. there is also quite a few plugins to tweak the sound whichever way you would like

    Select setup as "New", the next screen should prompt you to rename your phone. Just name it what you already have it named. After that, you should be able to sync and all of your data & settings will still be exactly as you've already set them up on your phone. The message is more threatening than what really happens.

    The tracks labeled "karaoke" in the iTunes Store are only instrumental backing tracks;  they are not actual karaoke tracks.  They do not have lyrics, and cannot be burned to the usual CD+G format that a karaoke machine will accept.
    If you want actual karaoke tracks,  go to a specialty online download store such as KaraokeDownloads.com.

  • My 1G Touch has suddenly stopped downloading (by wifi)  -some- podcasts and even -some- free songs from iTunes.

    My 1G Touch has suddenly stopped downloading (by wifi)  -some- podcasts and even -some- free songs from iTunes. The download page comes up but where there used to be a 'free' button there is nothing. I've done a full restore and problem persists.
        No answer on first visit to Genius Bar. Did the suggested full wipe with no sucess so I'm heading back with my laptop in hand to challenge them to find a solution.
        Can you solve this puzzler?

    There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

  • HT204266 I hav e downloaded some free apps from itune store. When I try to install in my ipod it doesn't go through. it can not install in my ipod touch.

    I have downloaded some free apps from Itune store. but when i sync those apps in my ipod touch it dosn't apear in my ipod. i can't use that apps. what should i do? help please.

    Are the apps compatible with your model iPod and its iOS version? You say you have a iOS 4.2. That implies a 2G iPod. Many, many apps now require iOS 4.3 or later or a 3G or later iPod.
    Also do you have Restrictions turned on that would d prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • Karaoke. I bought some karaoke midi from iTunes. I imported and am unsure how to raise or lower the pitch and tempo

    I have some karaoke files from itunes. I think there are a couple of ways to raise or lower the pitch and tempo. I can't seem to get it to work.

    To change the tempo, select the track head in the timeline and enable "Follow Tempo & Pitch" in the Audio Editor. Then you can change the tempo in the LED display, if it is set to "Project" view.
    To change the pitch, select the track, open the "Inspector", go to the "Edit" tab", click an empty brick and add an "AuPitch" filter. Raise or lower the pitch wheel (in cents, 100 cent equals one semitone step).

  • I can't sync some albums/songs from iTunes 12.1 on my Mac to my iPad running iOS 8.2

    In brief, when I drag content from iTunes to my iPad icon it will not transfer. It doesn't happen to all albums and songs but quite a few. I also have an iPod touch 5th gen iOS 8.2 and the same albums seem to move across ok? Most pf the time it say's "preparing to update" and then just does nothing?

  • I receive a error when trying to sync some songs purchased from iTunes, song cannot be converted

    I have purchased a couple of albums from iTunes and when I sync with my iPod Touch 4G some of the songs don't sync, I receive an error sayting some of the songs cannot be converted?????

    If you are in a country that allow redownoads, try deleting the songs and redownloading by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    The above lists what can be redownloaded in what countries.and says how to redownload.

  • When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive.  What am I ding wrong?  Using latest version of mountain lion.

    When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk.  I am using latest version of mountain lion.  Am I doing something wrong?

    First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
    This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

  • Why won't some music sync from iTunes to my iPhone 5?

    I have purchased several items from the iTunes store with no trouble syncing and playing on my iPhone 4. Recently I purchased two iPhone 5's for myself and my son. His phone is synced to my iTunes account and can play all content. My phone initially synced all my music and comedy albums. Occasionally I would come across a song my iPhone music player refused to play. I would touch the song name, briefly see the song/album and it would flip back to my playlist/song list without playing or it would skip to another song. Sometimes skipping several songs in between and flashing quickly the song title.
    To rectify this, I researched the problem on the forums and tried one of the suggestions of right clicking on the song in iTunes, converting the song to AAC and then deleting the original and re-syncing. After powering down and re-syncing, the 173 non-synced songs out of 808 purchased songs were no longer even on my phone.
    I accessed the iTunes store through the app on my phone, found the non-downloaded songs in the cloud and manually downloaded them to my phone. Although I couldn't put them in the playlists I had created on iTunes (where they are checked and the playlist is checked for syncing) I did have them on my phone and they played perfectly. After my phone was plugged into a power source with iTunes open and my phone synced, the songs were once again missing from my phone.
    I contacted Apple support and we spent some time trying different things:
    1) Selected tab under iTunes preferences for devices  "Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically"
    2) Reset all settings
    3) Backed up my iPhone for a restore - which we never did.
    I spoke then with a senior support consultant and we then:
    1) Deleted the songs from my phone through Settings > General > Usage > Storage where my playlists remained but were empty.
    2) We re-synced all my checked playlists. The songs were still missing.
    3) On iTunes we selected "Sync all music". Songs were still missing.
    4) Went to iTunes Store via iTunes on my Mac, looked up purchases and downloads, re-downloaded missing songs (there were only six of them and happened to be the ones that I converted to AAC).
    5) Created new "Test" playlist and dragged two of the missing iPhone songs into it. Synced phone to include new playlist. Playlist appeared but was empty.
    I had purchased two John Pinette comedy albums. One entire album will not sync and on the second, only two of the thirteen "songs" will sync. The support person asked if I wanted to change all of the m4a songs to mp3 and was going to show me how but when viewing the John Pinette "Still Hungry" album where the first and last song synced, they show the file ends with m4a, as do all of the songs that won't sync. This leads me to conclude that the file type isn't the issue, but that there is something corrupted with certain files from the iTunes store or a glitch that is incompatible with the IOS 6.1.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you been able to rectify it?

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • When syncing my iphone4, some downloaded songs from iTunes cannot be removed. Not all but a few.  They do not even show in the general music library at all but will not go away fom the iPhone. I even deleted the playlist it was syncing from and those few.

    When I sync my iphone4 to my pc some iTunes music downloaded direct to the phone cannot be removed. They do not show in the music library or any playlist and they do not show on the pc even if you use a search by name. Any help is appreciated

  • Some missing files from itune

    I downloaded iTune 5, and I don't know what went wrong, but I couldn't use iTune.
    I tried to reinstall, and install again...but now I get the msg "some files are missing reinstall itune...
    I tried to install from CD I got when I bought ipod mini, but still the same. I wonder how I can get those missing files...

    With respect to the hardcoding of 127.0.0.1:8888 it is how it was intended.
    If you go through the setup and deployment guide for the PIP, and follow through the steps in page 19 (Section "Configuring Integration Files"), you'll find that we include a utility in the PIP that handles substitution of the server names/ports .. one of the first steps is to setup your deployment server values in a file called CRMIntegProcessParameters.xml, where you specify your server values, after which running the utility substitutes the server-names and ports.
    With respect to the missing files, again I don't see the issue. the files are included in the posted zip file in which the PIP is delivered. I just reconfirmed opening the zip file and reextracting the file reported as missing .. and it is present.
