What is an audio converter that works. For WMA's to mp3 or anything

I know Easywmv does it but it costs money to have the full version. Also the trial converts like 30 secs of a song thats it.
I want to play these songs on iTunes and my iPod

There is a free alternative, not that I condone getting angry in a forum. Theres a very good Quicktime plug-in called "Flip4Mac" that allows WMV files to be viewed in Quicktime. It also supports WMA files. Once this plug-in is installed you simply have to open the file in Quicktime and export it to some other format (anything but mp3 unfortunately) using the "Export" menu. It comes with the added bonus of being able to watch Windows Media files in Quicktime. It doesn't get any easier than that.
And for the record, the frustration is quite unbecoming.

Encoding Audio - Solution that worked for me

Hi all,
As some of you may or may not have known, i was having trouble with my iDVD project hanging at the encoding audio stage for about 24 hours.
Yesterday i decided to try out a suggestion that i had seen on another thread somewhere. Appologies as i cannot recall where i saw it. However it worked for me.
This is what i did
I saved my iMovie project as normal (containing 160 clips and 5 songs from my iTunes library) and then closed iMovie.
I then opened up iDVD and chose 'new project'. I selected the theme i wanted, and then i opened up the 'DVD map' function. I then clicked the plus sumbol and chose 'add new movie'. I then opened up finder, browsed to my iMovie project file and dragged it into the tile i had just created.
All the scene menus populated as it would have done if i had 'exported' to iDVD from iMovie. I then added some background pictures etc, and burnt the project to 'disc image'.
The audio encoding part hung for about 2 hours as normal with the beach ball of death but i could see that the iDVD project file in finder was getting larger (a helpful tip that several of you taught me).
Then the beachball dissapeared and the encoding bar began to fill up blue. And then the image was created.
All in all it took 4 hours which, for a workaround is fine by me (although a fix would make me happier)
So i think the trick was to not use the 'export/share to iDVD' option in iMovie.
On a side note. This method also eradicated the audio lagging that i was experiencing before where the songs at the end of the project were suddenly 2 seconds behind the film when viewed in iDVD.
I hope that this method works for others experiencing this frustrating problem.
Kind regards
LJ

Audio Interface that works for the new 10.6.7 Mac software?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am having trouble finding an Audio Interface for recording vocals/guitars that will actually work!! Most of these companies have not worked out the driver for them yet....Thanks

In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.
10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

Airtunes audio drop out solution that worked for me! :)

setup is DSL modem, AEBS main base station (software v5.6), AE (software v6.2), AE is in WDS mode as a remote base station. I am running OSX 10.4.3, and all software (itunes, etc) is updated current as of 6Nov2005.
using airport admin utility, i set both base stations to "g only" and still had audio drop outs. Then I left both of them on g only and set both of them on channel 5, (was on channel 10 before.) no airtunes drop outs!!
I have been audio drop-out free for a few days now and am cautiously optimistic- enough to post my solution. hope it works for you, too!

Thanks Bryan! Glad to hear you found a solution that works for you. Your suggestions are also among the many solutions previously posted in the mother of all discussions on this topic found at:

Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software? If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

IPod classic error 50, 53, 69, etc solution that worked for me

Giving back to the community that I spent so long searching in for a solution to this problem--even though I ended up with my own solution that may or may not work for you.
I bought a 6th gen 160GB iPod classic and tried to sync it to my massive 14,000(+)-song library. The sucker would give me all sorts of errors (50, 53, 69) and never complete my sync. It said my files were corrupted or that an unknown error occurred yada yada. I looked on the forums for a solution and none of them worked. I sent that iPod back and got a 7th gen 160GB instead. SAME ISSUE. MY GOD. My only guess was that since both iPods came from a Mac computer there was some issue with it connecting to Windows--ever after reformatting it.
So, I knew about formatting my iPod and then restoring it to try and resolve the issue that turingtest2 often would point out in many threads similar to this: iPod Classic
What I never did was a full format. But more specifically, I never did a full format and waited for it to finish.
The fix that worked for me was this (and I'm giving my exact order, even if the steps were unnecessary--as the fact that it worked was like a dream come true):
1) Go to My Computer, right click on Computer in the sidebar and click on Manage.
2) After the window pops up, click on Device Manager and then Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
3) Make sure your iPod is plugged in, and right click Apple Mobile Device USB Driver and uninstall it.
4) Now go to Disk Management in the sidebar. Right click on the iPod and select Format
5) For format options, select file system as NTFS (I know, I know--but it worked for me), and UNCHECK Quick Format.
6) Format it, and WAIT for it to finish. It will take a really long time.
7) After formatting, plug the iPod back in and wait for the driver to install. Open iTunes and restore the iPod.
8) Wait for the iPod to restore and then sync the music!
If everything was done correctly it should work, possibly.
My hard drive specs before this were:
Retracts: 34
Reallocs: 9344
Pending Sectors: 0
So, the specs were pretty bad, but it still worked for me.
I actually just got done doing another sync and it still seems to be working fine.
Good luck!

I have had success with this method also, but it is not full-proof. Try the movie "The Incredibles". The audio will be about 10-seconds out-of-sync. (BTW, I own this movie).

Best video and audio converter that contains most format at mac app store

Dear All;
What is the best video and audio converter that contains most format at mac app store?Can you suggest any on Mac App Store?
Regards;

I use Wondreshare's dvd ripper. I travel for a living, so the $60 or $70 I spent to rip my entire dvd collection onto an external hard drive that I can take anywhere I go. Their software isn't available in the App Store to my knowledge but I have had it for a couple years now without any trouble.

Audio is not working for airplay.

Audio is not working for airplay. I tried changing the audio output in system preferences to Apple TV both before and after turning on Air Play as suggested in earlier discussion threads. That did not work.

What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or5

All,
What is better when converting analog video for FCE, Canopus100/110/300/or500? I have a new MACPRO with FCE HD and I wanted to convert some of my older video that was recorded on a HI8 Camcorder... Thanks.

I have the ADVC-100 (older model) and ADVC-110. They are identical except that the ADVC-110 does not come with an AC power adapter. Currently sells for about $220USD. If all you need to do is convert from HI8 tapes, the ADVC100/110 will do the job quite nicely.
The ADVC300 adds some enhancements for video signal cleanup, but at a higher price. Currently sells for about $450USD. The ADVC500 is overkill for home use.

What is the "Audio line in" port for?

I have a microphone headset but plugging the mic cord into the audio line in port does nothing. Similarly, when I tried plugging a cable from the "tape out" of my audio amplifier into that port for dubbing purposes, nothing happened. In both cases I can achieve what I want using an iMic and a USB port. So what's the audio line line port for? How can I use it?

Check your Sound settings in system preferences and audio midi set-up, Brian. It may be that you have it set to accept sound in through USB at present. Another possibility is that the port has "stuck" on "optical input".

Thinkpad yoga - limited connection - intel 7260AC (with solution that worked for me)

limited connection issue
i'm new to the forum, sorry for bad english
i've a brand new rhinkpad yoga, with win 8.1 and intel ac 7260 wifi card
first of all the solution that worked for me is moving from WEP to WPA2 protection with the router
the problem was that i wasn't able to connect to internet using wifi
i got "limited connection" and i wasn't able to access internet at all
windows validated the connection and obtained an ip, but it wasn't then unable to access internet at all, i also wasn't able to access or ping the router.
i also got an error stating the lack of the default gateway, but this one seems to be resolved by windows check and repair procedures
my router had wep protection, and i used it with no issues with 2 android smartphones, an android tablet, a mac and a linux system, and in the past with windows 7 and vista systems.
i've searched for solution all the night and checked everything
- system and driver update (via usb thetering)
- various command to reset network configuration
- unchecking selected check box in energy saving tab inside wireless property panel
but the only one solution that worked was the move from WEP to WPA2
hope this helps
my first post, be patient...

From what I gathered, about the Y2P Limited Wifi issue, this problem is solved by configurating a router to meet the computer needs. Once done, to fully implement this fix, it is adviced that you carry this configured router and use it every where you go, like a power cord. When you go to Statbuck in the monrining, be sure they hook up your router and return it when you leave. Alternitively, this can be done at other venues like the airport, hotel, school, work, etc.
I really don't know why people keep wasteing their time. Lenovo has chimed in and said this is a router issue. That said, the aformentioned advice is a formulated fix. Shall we put an end to thiese topics and get the forum moving again past the wifi issues? Like said many times, this issue has been fixed using the above reccomendation.

IOS 6 Wi-Fi fix that worked for me.

I just downloaded IOS 6 and my Wi-fi was not working correctly, everytime I tried to connect to Wi-Fi it took my to an apple page and never loaded wi-fi up. Here's what I did to fix it. Click on settings>Wi-Fi>Click blue arrow next to network trying to connect too>change auto-connect to on>scroll down and change HTTP Proxy to Auto.
That worked for me to connect to Wi-Fi. Hope this helps everyone, I know there's a lot of frustration out there

Mics and audio interfaces that work with Camera Connector

FYI: After playing with the Camera Connector I have been able to connect USB recording gear for use with MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad. The Blue Yeti, Samson's GTrack and Roland's Cakewalk Audio Interface all work for inputting audio. All three have internal headphone jacks which work for monitoring both the input and multitrack recordings.
One caveat with the Yeti: it appears to be almost at the limit of the power that the iPad's USB Camera Connnector can supply. Some headphones and earbuds shut down the mic. Sennheiser HD280 phones work fine, but some of the Sennheiser buds don't.

It has been reported before that a lot of USB audio devices (e.g., headsets, microphones). As an example see:

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

premiere elements will not accept ADOBE ID that worked for photoshop elemets 12

katmama
From one of your prior threads, you appear to be working in Windows 8.1 64 bit with your Premiere Elements 12.
Where are you when you say that Premiere Elements 12 will not accept your Adobe ID - are you at the Sign In dialog step of the end of the
installation? Whatever the location, what is being rejected or not recognized specifically - can you tell if it is the Adobe ID or password?
Are you working with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Please check out the following troubleshooting steps and let us know if any of them worked for you
