Switchy Switch Why wont it switch????

alright so i converted ALL my files to AAC format. They used to be mp3 files but i switched to conserve space.
MOST of my files on my iPod also switched to AAC format. but some are staying in mp3 format, therefor taking up more room then wat is stored on my computer.
on my iTunes library (without my iPod connected) it says i have used 5.50 GB. But when i connect my iPod and check the library that is actually on my iPod (not the library with the files that are actually on the COMPUTER) it says i am using 5.90 GB.
Ive updated many many times and still they wont change.
Am i doing something dumb?does anyone have a solution?

Restore the iPod.
Did you delete the old MP3s after you converted them? If not, they both may be getting sync'd to the iPod.
Also, if you have the CDs you ripped from, you may want to go back and re-RIP them into AAC.
If they were originally MP3 and then you converted to AAC, these are both a Lossy compression so the sound will get worse each time it is converted.
A 128 kbps AAC will sound at least as good as a 160 kbps MP3 but will take up less space.
A file converted to MP3 128 kbps will be very close to the same size as a file converted to AAC 128 kbps.

  • WHY WONT IT SWITCH?

    alright so on my iTunes library it has all my files in AAC and it takes up 5.50 GB.
    but wen i connect and update my iPod, and i look at the library that my actual iPod currently contains, some of the files are still in mp3 even tho theyve been converted for about a week.
    how do i update my iPod so that the AAC type of the file is on it instead of the old mp3 version???
    half are in AAC and half are in mp3 but they were all converted at the same time..

    help anyone?

  • Why do I never get an answer to any questions asked on this forum for years now? Why does Firefox Feedback not work? Why does Firefox Suggestion system not work? Why have I switched to Google Chrome (I can answer that last one).

    I keep asking questions about problems and see them posted in the "support" forum and usually with a note about how many other users have this problem. There are never any answers or replies even though some of the number for others with the problem are huge.
    As I say, I have only one answer to many questions, my last one, which is why have I switched to Google Chrome. I know the answer to that one.

    I so agree with what you say and am in exactly the same position - very sad. Was strong supporter of FF but will have to move elsewhere for my browser after many years with FF

  • Why should I switch from Final Cut X?

    Who am I:
    Hobbits that has been playing with this stuff since the 80's
    Has Premiere and After effects in late 90's early 00 before switching to a Mac
    Make no money from my work. It is mostly home video's or fun stuff laughs at the office
    I have CC for photography, switched before Apple killed Aperture. For $10/month it is not bad for LightRoom's power and PhotoShop is over kill for me, though I like the power
    I have had Final Cut for years, and love the CHEAP price of Final Cut Pro X
    Use Motion a fair amount, though no expert
    Now to switch up from the Photo package of CC to have one with Premiere and After Effects is 3x the cost, or $240 MORE as year. FCPX is $50, plus Motion $50 add Compressor and you still are 6 month pay off (and I already own them).
    I agree with many reviews that FCPX is like iMovie pro, but Why would I switch to Premiere Pro?

    Because:
    Transparency.  Adobe tells you what it can and can't do with various pieces of hardware (think: GPUs) on your machine.  In fact, they list it exactly.  Apple just says stuff like, "Oh, it'll be faster with your GPUs.  Trust us."  They never specifically enumerate the advantages GPU acceleration can provide.
    Traditional NLE Format,  FCPX's interface isn't exactly what you'd call traditional as it pertains to an NLE.  Maybe you can dig it, maybe you can't.  Pr's is traditional and if you've used any other NLE, you can easily figure it out.
    Superb Integration.  Adobe's cross-application integration is ridiculously simple and easy to use.  Want to edit a sound track from Pr in Audition?  Back-click on the track and tell Pr that; Audition gets launched and the track is loaded.  Need some help from AE?  No problem, you can easily move tracks back and forth between AE and Pr.  Apple's apps aren't integrated really, at all.  It's sad, too.
    Better Native Editing Support.  If Adobe says that Pr can edit something natively, it can.  Without transcoding, without copying, without re-wrapping, without anything.  FCPX, on the other hand, attempts to do the same thing.  Some formats (think: AVCHD) that exist in parts will be wrapped into a single MOV container before you can edit them.  This can take a while if the segments are 4GB in size...
    I'm sure there are a few more reasons I can think of.  FCPX isn't a bad NLE per se.  I just happen to like the way Pr (and the other Adobe apps) does things.

  • Why should I switch my Nokia 1020 for an Iphone 5c

    Ive been using an Iphone 4 for the last 2 year's and that phone never missed a beat ! when my upgrade time came the cost of new Iphone's was too much for me so upgraded to a Nokia Lumia 1020. It's a nice phone with some great feature's but I really feel the need to switch back.
    Please let me know youre opinions. Why should I switch back.
    Please help as it's driving me crazy.
    Scott

    Who do you want to be in email for support, etc.? Do you want to be kwarp on the internet and on a resume? What image do you want to project? Individual or business or phantom or...? How good are you at juggling both references? Which would you want on a business card?
    I wouldn't want to strictly maintain two IDs (nick versus real), especially for the long term.
    Pick one and stick with it. Let the other be incidental.
    I also believe these are detailed when doing the contracts, with at least partial explanations of how they will be used, so you can ponder your way during the application process.
    Developer ID/Name (as registered by you) shows up as 'seller' as I recall - different from the name version attached to the copyright tag. You could use 'kwarp' as seller with 'greg lieberman' after the copyright and at least for this example, use both.

  • IPhone froze, switched off & wont turn back on!

    My iPhone froze, switched off & wont switch back on.
    Also sometimes phonecalls do not connect.
    I have tried pressing the sleep &home button together but it doesnt work!

    Unplug it from the charger after it's been connected for at least 15 minutes.
    Then, press & hold both the Home Button and Sleep/Wake Button for 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then release.  This will 'reset' the device.

  • HT4314 Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter!? why?

    Why wont apple let you disable or unregister from gamecenter?! Iv done everything I can but games log into it reactivated its notifications aswell. It auto logs me back in...I want apple to let you unregister completely why not?? I have disabled all notifications from Gamecenter romoved all games listed, i deleted my email adress registered, i changed my user name...and loged out but games reactivate it, I also noticed it still keeps a record of your previous score and when reactivated relists all games on your handset again aswell.

    I feel the same way -- I would REALLY like to remove this misbegotten piece of junk completely. I would SETTLE for being able to disable it -- although there are instructions for "disabling" it, it doesn't STAY disabled. I have followed the instructions, removed my email address (although it still uses my email address as the login and won't allow me to ACTUALLY remove it), made my profile private, then signed out... And the next time the device is powered back on, the account is logged in again and insisting on trying to connect to every game I play. So I deny access, "disable" it, sign out, etc, again... ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
    When the rest of my family switched to android, I stubbornly stayed with my beloved iOS devices and my Macs, but this annoyance -- which WILL NOT go away -- almost makes me think I should reconsider. I HATE Game Center, and want it off my devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • Why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's?

    why wont premiere CS6 export .mp4's?  Everytime i try to export h264 mp4's the final export is an unrecognizable .m4v file.
    I read about this 'bug' in a thread started over 8 months ago,  and read that the 'work around' is to export with audio on. (my videos have no audio channels, so why would i want to save them and make them larger, by encoding them with audio?)
    I am preparing to switch from Final Cut 7, to Premiere Pro, but i'm concerned to do so as this bug apparnetly was never fixed by adobe, almost a year later.  There seems to be no way to encode an .mp4 without audio using Premiere Pro CS6 or Media Encoder CS6.  Is there any kind of patch or another way to export .mp4's?
    thanks.

    That is exactly my point!  Why should I have to export an audio channel and increase the file size to work around a known bug of the software...
    We export about 100 videos a day and it will add up.  These are files that will be online, and size is an issue.
    I'm just not sure that we'll want to invest in software with a known bug that hasn't been addressed after months. 
    I was hoping that maybe there was a patch or update that I haven't found yet.  Thanks all.

    Hi TomG101,
    It seems that there is a configuration conflict on the virtual switch port .
    Also I tested the command on my lab , it works .
    For troubleshooting please  create a new virtual switch then try to configure again .
    Any further information please feel free to let us know .
    Best Regards

  • Nexus5k - LACP towards HP blades switch(and nortel blade switch)

    Hi
    First I have to say this is not the first time i'm working with these old switches and not the first time i've configured LACP on them.
    So I did the config on the blade switch , enabled LACP, the uplink ports as members and tagged.
    Created port-channel on the nexus side.
    when i try to bring up the ports on the Cisco Nexus 5k this is the errors I get. this is fot the HP blade:

    0)
    I had one port-channel for a switch that came up with no problems. I compared the config but could not identify the issue.the config is very similar.
    has anyone encountered these errors or similar before? if yes, what am I missing? and also what does it mean when it says "
    Member channel group id: 31-1, does not match PC group id: 31-10) ?
    Thanks,
    Mary

    Marcel,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I tried again right now with the command you suggested but still no luck.
    we have so many more hp switches with the similar config that are working fine. I just can't figure out why these 3 switches are having issues.
    my current config on the member port is as below
    interface Ethernet171/1/36
      description WINBL1-NFS2:P2
      lacp rate fast
      switchport mode trunk
      switchport trunk allowed vlan 410,412
