Unknown error when converting to mp3

I am trying to convert a track I just downloaded from the itunes store to an mp3.  I have done this many times and I know how to do it.  Except now when I select to convert to mp3, I get "Itunes Unknown Error (-3)".  When I try to convert to one of the other options, it just gives me the first 15 seconds.  But what I really need is the mp3.

I too have been getting this error when attempting to convert a newly purchased song to mp3.  This has only started happnning recently in iTunes 10.6.3.25.  It turns out that this happens when the newly purchased songs are not complete.  The real problem seems to be with downloading new songs form iTunes Store.  iTunes reports a successful and complete download, but when I go to play the song, only 30 seconds to a minute of audio exist.  It has been occurring so frequently, that I will not purchase another song until the problem is fixed.

  • Unknown error when exporting 32-bit 5.1 wav audio

    I get the ever useful "Unknown error" when exporting the audio from Premiere Pro CS6 to a 32-bit, 5.1 channel uncompressed WAV file most of the time. I was able to get it to work just fine by pasting the audio to a new project, but that isn't working anymore. I get the same error when I change it to 24-bit audio. However, when I change to 16-bit sound it works fine.
    First, is there a real audible difference between 16- and 32-bit when it's all going through a WAV to AC3 converter? The AC3 files get dumped into Encore as the audio track so that I can get 5.1 sound on blu-rays instead of Encore re-encoding things.
    Second, what would cause it suddenly not work, and how can I get it working again?

    That error can happen for many reasons...one of the reasons that I occassionaly get it is because I try exporting a movie to an external drive that has been formated in the old FAT32 instead of the NTSF standard.  FAT32 only allows for file sizes up to 2 gigs.  And as soon as it reaches that...I would get that error.  I don't know if that is why you are getting that error...but it would be easy to check.  1) are you generating a file that is over 2 gigs?  2) is your drive that you are exporting to FAT 32 (just right click the drive in My Computer and select "properties" then just look for what it says next to "file system".

  • Unknown Error When Saving with CS6

    I am receiving an unknown error when trying to save my document. I have tried to take off the PDF convertable part, and tried saving it legacy style, but it's still not working. I have a doc open I need to save and won't be able to shut my computer down until I fix this... What could be the issue? Is there a fix for it?
    Thank you!!!!!!
    Henri

    After nearly ripping my eyeballs out and chucking my laptop out the window, I finally fixed the problem!
    For some reason I didn't have a CMaps folder in my Adobe - Common Files - Font folder:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\CMaps
    So I made the "CMaps" folder and copied and pasted the files "Identity-H" and "Identity-V" from an "Adobe Reader" CMap folder, and now I can save text in an *.ai file with PDF Compatibility checked.
    It's pretty strange Illustrator was working for 2 years without this folder, and now all the sudden it needed it.  Also, this is a very obscure fix.
    Hopefully the programmers at Adobe have fixed these bugs in newer versions.

  • I have just started using the new premiere CC. Gives unknown error when using CBR

    I tried using the same export setting for mpeg2 that I used in CS6, but CC will say Unknown error when I try to export. It will only work with Vpass 1 or 2. Any ideas why?

    Hi MEW1,
    Is the printer connected wirelessly or wired?
    Go to Preferences and under categories go to > Convert to Pdf then select the Image Capture and then hit ok button.
    Close Acrobat and then relaunch it and see if it helps you while you do scanning.

  • Unknown Error when I Logging and Transfer P2 Card files in FCP 6.0.6

    I have been trying for the past two week to Log and Transfer P2 files to my external hardrive using FCP 6.0.6 unsuccessfully.
    Originally I tried to Log and Transfer directly from the Panasonic HPX-170 in between my shooting. The first time it was a success but from then on I always get the same Unknown Error when attempting to transfer. When I encountered the Unknown Error during the second transfer I went on to create folders with the P2 contents on my external Hard Drive.
    When I drag any of the P2 folder content on the Log and Transfer window I can see all the clips. I can successfully transfer small B-roll clips I have but any big size file (all my interviews) return an Unknown Error symbol at the end of the transfer. I believe this is probably why I didn't encounter any issues during my first time.
    I tried deleting the preferences in FCP and then Logging and Transfer and it works if the systems settings are set for the Mac Pro but not for the external HD. The problem is I don't have enough space on my Mac. I have cleared 45GB of space but my P2 files total 54GB. I tried the same process with a Mac Power Book with FCP 5.1.4 and again in encounter the same problem.
    The external HD is a 1TB Western Digital that I have used before with FCP for editing but never before with P2 files. Its in good working order and has 79GB free space remaining. Both the camera and the P2 cards (16GB and 4GB) are also performing as expected.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    #36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
    ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.
