Transfering music in the correct format
how do I tranfer music to an sd card in mpr format in only seems to let me save in xml format and my in car mp3 can not read it can you help
The export function in itunes only exports a text file of the music titles you have in your library.
If you want to put the actual music files onto your sd card, you will need to drag and drop the music from the itunes library window to any location you want.
The drag and drop does not remove the song from the library, just copies it.
Then you can move the music files onto your sd card.
Now if the music in your itunes library is purchased from the itunes music store, it will not be in the mp3 format. Also, unless the music is itunes+, you cannot convert to mp3.
Here is an article from the apple support website on changing music format.

I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?
Thank youSo it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

I exported my iBook and got the .ibooks file on my Desktop(iMac Retina 5K), I tried to put the file into the iBooks application but I get a message that says "The file "______.ibooks" couldn't opened because it isn't in the correct format. I took the same file and transferred it in my MacBook Air and was able to put it in the iBooks application no problem, the MacBook Air runs OS X v 10.9.5
Please advise as to Why it would work on an older OS X version as oppose to the newer OS X Yosemite
Thanks
JPThanks Lyra,
I may be doing something wrong because looking at the "Purchased" in iBooks I only see all the books that I actually purchased, none of the iBooks that I created in iBooks Author shows up. I can re-download all the iBooks I've purchased and some in iCouds, but the ones I've created in iBooks Author are no where to be found.
Any help is much appreciated,
Best Regards,

I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?
Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive. -
neither my ipad or ipod are being recognized by itunes so i can't transfer songs from itunes playlists to the two devices. this is new, as far as a week ago i transferred music from the computer to the ipod. can anyone help?
Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

As made clear in the title:
I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
Is there any way to get around this?diskutil list:
/dev/disk0

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3
/dev/disk1

map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
/dev/disk1 on /Volumes/Windows7 (udf, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, noowners)
From my very basic knowledge - it still looks as if there is only one partition (not including the windows 7 CD necessary to install the windows partition). -

iTunes 11.0.1.12
I have my music in the correct iTunes folder
In iTunes, I select songs, click "delete", then "move to recycle bin", finally, empty my recycle bin that shows the file is there
File is still on my hard drive.
I just want to be able to delete files out of my library and off of my hard drive at the same time. I have tried everything I have read, and there really seems to be no real answer. Somebody please help!Tarantulaman wrote:
i do, but like i said it fell once and since then it hasn't been able to connect to my laptop. it acts like nothing's connected. i believe if i call the company the HDD is from they'll be able to transfer it to a new one but who knows how much they'd charge. looks like i have no choice now.
If it were truly a backup, then the media would play on the laptop as it would be on the laptop.
Sounds like you actually do not have a backup, instead you chose to keep your media on an external drive.
Regardless of where the media is stored, it's always a good idea to have a backup for instances like this. -
What is the correct format of filepath string on Mac os x?
I am trying to retrieve a file from Mac os x by:
File file=new File(filepath);
My boot volume name is "myVol", and filepath is "/myVol/opt/ab.txt". However, when I provide this path, the file is not found. I just figured out that if I use "/opt/ab.txt" the correct file can be found!!
Now, if I have a shared volume on my machine(I got it by menu "Go-->Connect to Server..."), whose name is "Mac Share", the filepath should be something "/Mac Share/test/123.txt". File file=new File("/Mac Share/test/123.txt") can not find the file. It looks like that it's trying to find 123.txt from /myVol/Mac Share/test directory, which doesn't exist. I even tried "//MacShare/test/123.txt", "Mac Share/test/123.txt", etc., and none of them worked!!
If you know the correct format to specify the filepath on Mac OS x, please give me help!!!!
Thanks in advance.I don't know the exact answer to your question, but you can probably figure it out on your own like:
1) Create a File object that represents an existing file. Play around with the path until the file can be found.
2) Now that you have a File object representing a valid, existing path, use MyFile.getAbsolutePath() to see what the full path string is. MyFile.getCanonicalPath() might provide some answers as well.
Whatever getAbsolutePath() returns is the correct format for the file path string. -

I have had this problem several times lately: I cannot open a downloaded pdf file. The error message reads: "The file couldn't be opened because it isn't in the correct format." But, of course, it is a pdf file.
My MacBook Pro (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5) is running OS X 10.9.4. Here is what happens when reading an online user manual that I want to save to the Desktop and read later as a PDF file on my iPad or phone. With Safari I will select "Export As PDF" and the file shows up on the desktop. Even after multiple trials, there will be a dialogue box indicating the file cannot be opened. If I check the file info, the size is "zero." Trying to save the file as a pdf using the Print menu yields the same results. I have tried both of these methods using Preview, Adobe Reader, and PDF Pen Pro. This strange behavior also occurred several weeks ago and I finally abandoned the effort. But when the same thing happens twice, it becomes an issue that needs to be resolved.

I was using configurator without trouble. Unfortunately, my battery died and my computer went down. I plugged my computer in, restarted it and tried to open configurator. Now this is the error I am getting. Apple Configurator could not open your library.The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. How do I fix this?
Thank you for responding. The number 2 after the file final cut events is temporary so I can copy it to another drive while I am working on this. . i got a new message that reads...

Applescript: isn't in the correct format?
Hi, i wanted to make a script that would randomly take an image from a fodler of life drawing models and landscript that i would then have to draw.
Everything seemed to be working fine with it but all of the sudden im getting 2 different messages whenever the script is run.
The first message i get is:
The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format.
I went to the image that wasn't working and double clicked it and it opened fine in Preview.app so i wasn't sure why it wasn't working with the script but was with the double click.
the other message im getting is a permissions message but i can't seem to get that to come back up at the moment to copy and paste it here, but it looks like the normal "you do not have permission to view this file" sort of thing.
i've checked permissions and i've repaired them just encase but no issues or warning came up so im not sure what the issue with the permissions could be.
here is the script i have used to make it select and open a random image.
with timeout of 36000 seconds
tell application "Finder"
activate
if (count items) of folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks:" is 0 then
display dialog "You Have Completed All Available Drawning Tasks, Please Add More To Folder" with icon stop buttons {"Open Folder", "Random Image Site", "Close"}
set the button_pressed to button returned of the result
if the button_pressed is "Open Folder" then
tell application "Finder"
activate
open "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks"
end tell
else if the button_pressed is "Random Image Site" then
tell application "Safari"
activate
open location "http://photo.net/photodb/random-photo?category=NoNudes"
end tell
end if
else
activate
set question to display dialog "Time For Some Drawing
Warning These Photos May Be Of An Adult Nature" with icon stop buttons {"Not Possible At The Moment", "OK"}
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "OK" then
tell application "Finder"
set randomImage to some file of folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Drawing Tasks"
end tell
tell application "Preview"
open randomImage
end tell
tell application "Finder"
move randomImage to folder "MonkeyBook Pro:Users:Monkey:Documents:Guardian Classes:Completed Tasks:"
end tell
end if
end if
end tell
end timeout
Anyone got any idea why this might be happening?I think the issue comes from the fact that the picture is moved to the Completed Tasks folder before Preview.app has had time to open it properly. So, if I'm right, adding a short delay before moving the picture should fix the issue.
Maybe you might want to try this simplified version of your script:
set DrawingTasks to POSIX file "/Users/Monkey/Documents/Guardian Classes/Drawing Tasks"
set CompletedTasks to POSIX file "/Users/Monkey/Documents/Guardian Classes/Completed Tasks"
tell application "Finder"
activate
if (count items of folder DrawingTasks) is 0 then
display dialog "You Have Completed All Available Drawning Tasks, Please Add More To Folder" with icon stop buttons {"Open Folder", "Random Image Site", "Close"}
set the button_pressed to button returned of the result
if the button_pressed is "Open Folder" then
open folder DrawingTasks
else if the button_pressed is "Random Image Site" then
tell application "Safari"
activate
open location "http://photo.net/photodb/random-photo?category=NoNudes"
end tell
end if
else
set question to display dialog "Time For Some Drawing." & return & return & "Warning: These Photos May Be Of An Adult Nature" with icon stop buttons {"Not Possible At The Moment", "OK"}
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "OK" then
set randomImage to some file of folder DrawingTasks
tell application "Preview" to open randomImage
delay 2 -- adjust to fit your needs
move randomImage to CompletedTasks
end if
end if
end tell -
Problems with LDAP: "LDAP server prefix is not of the correct format"

We use a Mac OS X Server (10.4.9) with Open Directory for authentication of the clients in our network. Furthermore, that machine serves home directories and mobile accounts.

Transferring music to the SansaClip
What are my options for transferring music from an external HDD or iPod Touch to my daughter's Sansa?What is the best way to delete all 53 songs currently on her device?
If she doesn't use protected files, then set the USB mode on the player to MSC. if she uses protected files, then set it to MTP(Settings, system settings, USB mode). you could format the player using the player menu to delete all songs on the player(settings, system settings, >FORMAT). To transfer files to the player, I suggest you use Windows Explorer copy and paste if the files aren't protected. For protected files, you need to use Windows Media Player(or another media player that will transfer the licenses) so that the licenses are properly transferred. Which Clip player does she have? The original Clip, or the Clip+? The Clip+ has a card slot.

Transfering Music from the ipod to the computer
Hello all I am new in this, i just get my first ipod this week, is a 30Gb Video. i want to know how can i transfer the music that i have in the ipod to my computer, to burn it in CDS or something.
thank You
RubensCheck out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer.
There's also another method. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), there's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
The above methods will depend on what version of iTunes you are running.
I can't vouch that any of them will work with iTunes version 7.
