Using Itunes 12.0.1.26 on iMac with Yosemite 10.10.1.  I 'select all' to highlight, dragg

I have Itunes 12.0.1.26 on my home iMac (mid-2011) with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I have been using 'select all' to highlight a playlist of 42 songs which I've purchased on iTunes and dragging and copying them to a Lexar USB flash drive. They appear to copy onto the flash drive but my philips shelf CD USB player shows "no songs" when I put the flash drive into it. I've also noticed that the songs on the flash drive under "kind" show either "protected MPEG-4 audio" or "Apple MPEG-4 audio". What I am I doing wrong that I can correct so I can take this flash drive around with me and listen to my music on other devices with USB ports?
Thanks, Nick

I would like to join this discussion. here is my contribution:
It has been a problem for me over time (spans several versions of both iPhone, iTunes and MACOSes)that iTunes does not sync properly between my MacBookPro and my iPhone.
The problem persists even on iPhone 6.
The problem is easily described: I buy a song on iTunes on my MaBookPro iTunes client, and add it to a playlist. Then I ask the same client to sync the new song and the playlist addition of it to my iPhone. This never works the way you would expect from Apple software. The efforts I have to make to get the new song and the playlist addition over to my iPhone (like restarting both MacBookPro and iPhone, repeating the Sync-request until one of the devices hangs, or else the Sync-process uses huge amounts of time and behaving strangely and illogically from one request to the other, etc) remind me of the worst and most clumsy versions of Windows.
Obvioulsy this problem has been reported many times. Why isn't it solved? Is it because Apple does not want to, or is it because they can't?

  • Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

    Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

    The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
    A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
    https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
    I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
    But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
    External storage for iPad?
    A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk  in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

    I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
    After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
    How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    That's it really.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

  • Error 150:30 on new iMac with Yosemite

    I upgraded from an 8-year old iMac to a new iMac with Yosemite. After migrating everything over, I can't run PSE because it said some files were missing. I re-installed the software using my original disk. Then I got a 150:30 Error. Help!

    You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and has bits scattered all over your hard drive. Unfortunately, one of the things that does migrate is the file that tells PSE it's not on the authorized drive anymore. To deal with this at this point you will need to download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    After which you can go around and manually remove all the bits of PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and your username>library>preferences. Spotlight will not help you here; it's programmed to skip these kinds of files. If you need help finding those libraries, post back.

  • CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't  open.

    CS4 transferred to an iMac with Yosemite OS, installed Java update, still won't  open. Should I reinstall from disks or can I get a free upgrade to CS6?

    there's no free upgrade.
    you 'transferred' or you properly installed cs4 using the installation files?

  • Messages will not work on 2009 21.5 iMac with Yosemite

    I have a 2009 iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2 and cannot get messages to work with a good AIM account, any ideas?

    In order: No, and I don't know for sure, but strongly suspect no.
    Only the 27" models have video input, and things like TV tuner/capture cards are always going to have a lag that is unacceptable for gaming. Even if you had a 27", it wouldn't work very well for use with a game console. I've been there, done that, with just about every possibility you can think of.
    For a time I had an Xbox, PS2, and GameCube all connected to a Dell monitor and the sound chained through my computer. It worked, but it was a very convoluted and fragile system. The best thing I ever did was just buy a surround sound receiver and TV for my game consoles.

  • CS4 Design Premium on a new iMac with Yosemite

    I am having trouble installing CS4 Design Premium from the original disks on a new iMac with Yosemite. It keeps going to an upgrade request and won't accept my serial number.
    Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

    I am not a Mac person but it sounds to me CS4 is too old for Yosemite.
