Trying to import as MP3 but showing up as AIFF

Greetings. I am trying to import audio files as MP3s, but they are showing up as AIFF. I selected "MP3 Encoder" on the "Advanced" screen from the iTunes Preferences menu, but they are still showing up as AIFF. What am I doing wrong????
Thanks in advance for a helpful answer!

Are you importing from Audio CD?
That should work.
Can you give more details?

I recently tried to import 2 CDs but on one, only the first 4 songs imported and on the second, only the first 6 imported. The CDs work fine in a CD player. Any suggestions?

Rip the CDs with another program on your computer, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library. (If you use Windows Media Player for this purpose, make sure the Rip Setting is on MP3, or else it will default to a useless format known as WMA.)

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for mac will not recognize the file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Hi. Just switched from PC to MAC (lion 6.7) and I am trying to import my bookmarks but Firefox for MAC will not recognize the Bookmark back up file. How do I move my bookmarks to my MAC from my PC?

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup. 
You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

I tried to submit my podcast but showed difficulty in downloading and later showed already submitted please help!

I tried to submit my podcast but showed difficulty in downloading and later showed already submitted please help!

If your podcast was submitted but rejected for any reason then the automated part of the submissions process will give you that error despite the rejection - I assume it's a bug. The workaround is to change the title slightly.
But if they had difficulty downloading (what? - the feed, or the episodes - didn't they say) then you have a technical problem you need to address. Obviously I can't advise any further unless you care to post your feed URL.

Trying to import cd, it only shows tracks, not song titles. when i try and get the titles it says im not registered for online use even though im signed in. how can i fix this?

Im trying to import songs from a cd, but it only shows track numbers, no title of songs.when it try to get the titles it gives error code saying im not registered for online use. i am signed into my account so i dont know how to fix this.

The "not recognized for on-line use" error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\.
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure.
If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

Trying to import RAW files but receiving "some import operation were not performed" error message.

Trying to import RAW files (from Canon 5D Mark III) but I'm receiving the following error message "some import operations were not performed". I am trying to copy to my Seagate backup drive, however the only destination it will let me copy to is my Lexar flash drive (where I don't want to store them!). I've checked all the file permissions--everything says "read and write". Not sure where to start I recently switched to an iMac where the problems started (never any issues importing into Lightroom on my PC--just slowness). Please help!

NIKON D3300
The Nikon D3300 Raw format is not yet supported in Lightroom 5 (currently 5.3).
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Raw file formats are proprietary to each camera manufacturer and specific to each camera model. Adobe's Camera Raw engine (used by both Adobe Camera Raw - as a plugin to Photoshop - and Lightroom) must be constantly updated with every new camera make and model which arrives on the market in order to read and edit Raw files from that camera.
Adobe has added support for the D3300 to Camera Raw 8.4 which is about to be released. It is a Release Candidate (RC status) at the moment. So D3300 Raw support will probably be added to the next soon-to-be-released Lightroom update (5.4).
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4-cc/?tabID=details#tabTop
In the meantime, you can download the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.4
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw8-4.html
Using the DNG converter, you can then convert the D3300 Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in Lightroom 5.3.
Once Lightroom 5.4 is released (assuming it also has D3300 support) the DNG conversion will no longer be required.

Trying to import from scanner, but only get the wizard and I need the advanced screen....

Hi,
I just installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (I was using Elements 6 before).
I am trying to import a photo from my scanner, but am having some trouble. I need to import from the "advanced" screen I was using before, but now I am only getting the option to import through the wizard.
In Elements 10, when I click import I only have the option to "Frame From Video", or "WIA Support". When I pick the WIA Support, it takes me to the wizard.
In Elements 6, when I click import my scanner was actually listed and that is where I went to the advanced preview/scan screen somehow related to my scanner (it said Epson Scan at the top of the window).
How do I get my scanner to be listed in the import menu so that I can get to the Epson preview/scan window?
Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
Michelle

Oh, I spoke too soon. I just found out that I had to move the twain file from the optional plug in folder to the regular plug in folder. Everything is working great now.

New to aperture, trying to import .nef files but get error

Hi, I'm new to Aperture and I have a Nikon D7100. I'm trying to import my photos which were shot in .NEF format (Nikon RAW) butI get an error message. When I insert the SD card, I see the thumbnails. I made a new project and them clicked on "import checked" but it gives me a black square with an erro that the format is not supported? Help!

When you are shooting RAW with your camera, keep in mind, that not all raw formats for your camera are supported.
The list of supported cameras (OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats) has a footnote for the Nikon D810†:
†Nikon RAW L format only.
So don't change the compression settings in your camera. There is not yet a corresponding list for Yosemite, so I am not sure, if the same restrictions still apply.

Trying to import email files but Thunderbird doesn't show any "import from" choices when Outlook 2007 is my default email program

Have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, no change. Am going by the how-to article that says "In order to import messages from Outlook to Thunderbird, Outlook must be the default mail client."
After all this, I will have to move the files from a Windows 7 machine to a new Windows 8 machine which will not have any Office programs on it.

Recently reformatted PC. Tried to import HTML bookmarks, but nothing happens. Tried other browsers, still does not work. How can I fix this?

Before reformatting my PC, I exported all my bookmarks via HTML file. I reformatted, installed Firefox, then tried to proceed with importing all my bookmarks. I go to the import function and choose the HTML bookmarks file and nothing happens at all. I tried using other browsers to import, but nothing happens. I am not sure how to fix this.
I thought maybe I could transfer the HTML file into a JSON file, but I couldn't find a way to do so, even after renaming the file extensions. Could the HTML file be possibly be corrupted? I'm out of ideas on how to import my bookmarks!
I really need to fix this, please help!

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:
* .html for a HTML backup
* .json for a JSON backup
You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki> 
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
Add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension if the current file extension is hidden or if it is otherwise not working. 
Verify the file type in the Properties via the right-click context menu to make sure that the change has been successful.

Trying to import a CD, but it doesn't load in iTunes!

So my mother asked me so help her upload some of her CDs (she's never done it on her own) and so I taught her how.
She'd sucessfully uploaded and imported all of her CDs save one. When she inserted the CD into the drive, it never loaded onto the iTunes panel thing. I have no idea what happened or why and I couldn't find a tutorial of any kind on the matter.
Anyone know of some way to get the CD to show up on iTunes?
Thanks!

I thought it was also strange how not only does the CD not show up in iTunes, but it also doesn't show up when I go to "My Computer."
has the drive vanished altogether in My Computer?

Trying to import a CD but Gracenote not working.Itunes will not get cd info

When I put in an "original" cd, it shows as an audio cd in the sources, then pulls up tracks but will not pull up any cd info. I tried to "get info" and the gracenote box appeared for just a couple seconds and then nothing. I dont get an error - just nothing.
I use McAfee anti virus and firewall. itunes is listed in my allowed list for firewall.
I connect to the internet via verizon broadband wireless
When I click the get info, I can see the verizon internet is working.
I have tried several cd's and itunes will not find the track or album titles for any of them.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks!

I've solved the problem! My verizon broadband program has something called "Venturi" on it. Venturi compresses data so pages are supposed to load faster. I disabled this funtion (when you clik open the broadband program instead of connecting right to the internet I found a preferences or tools section & within that was a tab for Venturi. I unchecked the box that said to use Venturi). Now as soon as I put a disc in itunes grabs the info without any prompting.
I closed my internet connection and tried to reopen but it didnt load, so I re checked the venturi and it loaded. I'll play with that again when I get home. Instead of rechecking the venturi maybe I could have just refreshed the page. I dont know. Either way, as long as Venturi is disabled while using itunes everything works great!
