Nick,
You will need a Windows PC with iTunes running and a working copy of Windows Media Player available on the machine.  (iTunes calls WMP for the conversion from WMA).  Then just drag the WMA file(s) into the iTunes Music window.
iTunes will detect it and give you the dialog shown below, to which you choose "Convert."  iTunes will create a new version in the format/bitrate set in your Import preferences (MP3 in my example below), and immediately add it to your iTunes library.
The WMA original will be left in place, so you can delete it if you have no other need for it.

  • What is the best way to link 4 Airport units together wirelessly?

    Hi guys,
    I have a home with tick walls and creating  a decent wireless network was always a challenge. Recently I’ve decided to go for Apple products since I had a 4th gen airport express that worked well for airplay.
    I bought a new time capsule, airport extreme, and one airport express. So in total I have 4 apple devices that I can use for creating a good wireless network. But what I found out is that having a full signal doesn’t mean that you will have good speeds, and speeds are really slow like 3Mb/s max on some places on the house.
    The way that everything is configured at the moment is that I’ve configured the time capsule to be the main router and with the other three I’ve spreaded them over my house and selected the option to extend a wireless network using Airport Utility 6.2 on OSX.
    What is strange that I have a full signal on almost all corners but very bad speeds. I did some research and found a tool that would show what the less crowded channel that you can choose for you wireless network (http://tools.meraki.com/stumbler)
    In all my experience of extending a wireless network I’ve always used routers with DD-WRT so I could select the router to be a repeater bridge (and have two distinct networks, with different names) or link the routers with WDS linking them using the MAC address. In both cases all the documentation I’ve read recommended to set all routers of the same network with the same channel.
    When I used the stumbler tool to see what channel my network was, since it was set as automatic because it’s the recommendation of Apple documentation, I found out that all 4 routers were operating on different channel on both 2.4Ghz frequencies and 5Ghz frequencies.
    What is strange with the wireless network is that sometimes when it is really slow the speed of the internet, if I disconnect from the wireless network and connect again it gets a better connection, like I was connection to a closer router. But after sometime speeds get crappy again, like it changed to the far router again.
    My question is, what is the best way to link all this routers together wirelessly? Is there a way to make them to be all on the same channel? Is that important?
    On the Airport Utility 6.2 I don’t see any field that would make possible to link this routers using WDS. On the internet I found some documentation for configuring the routers with WDS with the Airport Utility 5.6.
    All my routers are updated to the latest version (7.6.3). Please let me know how to proceed to have a decent network on my house. I wouldn’t mind having the network set with different SSIDs but it would be better to use the same network name on all the house.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tiago

    At the moment it is configured like this.
    [IMG]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6403/capturadetela20130210s2.png[/IMG]
    My problem is that the signal its strong but speed isn’t. On Wifi stumbler I saw that every router is set to be on a different channel, they had to be the same no?
    If its really slow if I disconnect and connect again from the network. It gets faster, like it connected to a closer router or something.
    All are set to extend a wireless network.

  • What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    What is the BEST way to delete an app on an iPhone 4S so it will NOT be added back when I sync with iTunes?

    To completely remove an app and all of its data, do this: First delete the app on your phone, then in iTunes, under Library, click on Apps, right-click the app you want to delete & select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Connect your phone and sync. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • What's the best way to link these up?

    I'd like to connect the mini, the 4 and the books on a small business network. I thought one would have to be like a server and the others like terminals. I found out that I can connect to any of them through the base station, but the operator has to know the user name and password for the machine they want to connect to. That is no problem as an administrator, but I don't want some operators to have access to all information. Could someone help me with the steps to set this up the most efficient way? Even a direction would be helpful as the support searches are difficult to muddle through...
    G5, 3powerbooks, mini, G4, imac, CD630, LC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    First thing I learned, Mr. Radloff, is that I have a lot to learn. I am a plumber not an IT guy. I think I have a different idea of what a network is than what it really is. If I understood you correctly, I would go to each machine and place a home folder,(which I think is the house icon in the lower left of the finder window), with each of the users names, one for the boss, front desk, sales, etc. Then through Airport, each user would log onto "go to server" and be able to mount whatever folder I gave them access to. So we would all have the files that need to be shared, their stuff would have a back up and they could use any apps I placed in their folder. Did I get it? It looked as if biovisier's suggestion is similar but that there be just one user home folder and everyone has access to it. What the hec is a NFS?
    What I figured out today is that with Airport on, if I log onto the computers in Appletalk and choose guest, I can see the drop box for each machine. Have I stumbled upon the way to allow file sharing? This wouldn't allow me to have the database on one machine and access it from the others, but despite the lack of efficiency, it was easy to move files once I figured it out.
    These two functions are all I really want to do (file and application sharing).
    Thanks for the reply, I hope to learn more.

  • What is the best way of creating admin-only parameters for a java iView?

    Hi,
    I would appreciate some advice from more experienced developers...
    The scenario is as follows: I have created an Org Chart maintenance application that generates and renders xml&xsl-based Org Charts. This is the maintenance iView.
    I am creating a second iView that points to each org chart(the 'Viewer' iView). This iView will be re-used many times, for different parts of our organisation. My problem is I want the portal administrator to be able to set the specific Org Chart that each instance of the 'viewer' iView points to. This needs to be editable as a configurable property.
    I imagine that this is accomplished through the use of properties, what is the best way to accomplish this?
    Many thanks,
    Mark Hockings

    I believe that you should be able to specify the 'personalization' property to be no-dialog. This doesn't allow users to be able to change the property, but can be changed when creating the iView definition
    I hope this helps

  • What is the best way to Place/Embed/Link swf files to play in my Muse website?

    I have some older swf files that I created and would love to have them play on my webpage in my Muse website. As soon as I use the place command to put them on a page, Muse crashes when I try and preview that page or publish the site. I'm new to Muse so maybe I should be using an alternate method of bringing those swf files in.
    Also, I would like to use some of the Reallusion programs to create a "talking head" that introduces my website when visitors enter. But Crazy Talk 7 only seems to want to create avi files. What is the best way to get avi's to play in Muse? I have posted this question in the Flash forum also.
    Is there a program in the Creative Suite package that would be better to use to create this talking head or a workflow that will make these videos usable on the pages of Muse?

  • What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?

    What is the best way to share a iTunes library between 5 users on the same computer?
    Currently I have a common itunes library in a shared folder that each user is linked to.  The problem is that when one user adds music to the shared file, it does not automaticaly appear to other users when they open their iTunes.  They have to go to the shared library and select the new music in order to make it visable in their iTunes.
    Would iTunes file shareing fix this problem?

    As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.

  • What is the best way to set up Facetime if using multiple computers with one apple ID?

    I currently have FaceTime setup on my iPad 2 using my normal appleID, but have just recently upgraded our iMac from Leopard to Snow leopard, and have added FaceTime to that computer as well. So my question is this. If I want to avoid confusion with which device is called when someone calls us using FaceTime, what is the best way to distinguish the devices? Should I try to use a different email address to reach the iMac? Is there a best-known-method for this?

    That's a nice system Kevin, and it will work very nicely with Photoshop.  I do take it that you have 16Gb RAM in Total?
    250Gb SSD is a good size, but you can still run short, and that will affect Windows performance.  When you get your system, instal WinDirStat which gives you a graphic display of everything on your drive, like below. Clicking on any of the large areas will tell you what and where they are, so you can think about moving cache folders etc. to one of the HDDs.
    Leave the Pagefile.sys on the boot drive.  Think about disabling Hyphenate as it takes a ton of space, and too often crashes on wake up.
    My Documents
    Desktop
    Downloads
    Look at Bridge cache
    iTunes backup
    Other stuff like that.
    Think about another 500Gb drive just for Photoshop Scratch.  Drives are cheap as chips nowadays
    Do yourself a favour, and invest $100 in Shadow Protect (or similar if there is such a thing) SP saves incremental backups every 15 minutes (you can set the interval, but it has no impact on performance with a system like yours).  If you have a problem you can mount the back up at any of those 15 minute points, and open files from it.  You can also make a bootable DVD image of your C drive, and be back up and running five minutes after disaster strikes.

  • What's the best way to back up to the cloud?

    I am going to be traveling in the on a boat in Europe. Access to wifi could be limited and slow. I want to back up my photos and catalog to the cloud as there is potental to lose laptop and external drive. Since I have a 25 mp camera and will be shooting in Raw allot, there will be some big files as each photo could be around 27 gb.
    All of my files will be in the My pictures folder LR set up when I set up my new catalog. I planned to back up these folders to the cloud, then send just the new folders each time I add them to LR during import. Then I was going to have the catalog BK that is created each time you close LR  (just the data only is in this file) sent to the cloud as well.
    Then if my laptop is lost I can copy the back up catalog (just the data file) and the My Pictures file that has all my photos in folders to a new laptop and restore my catalog. I'm told by Adobe help that this won't work as the connection between the photos and the catalog back up will be lost.
    Is this correct? And if so, what's a better method.

    Thanks Jim, and yes I meant 27 mb.  Will be living on a sail boat so there is potential to lose both the laptop and external drive. The cloud was to be my 3rd copy

    You really have images that are 27 GB each? I suspect you meant 27 MB. But, even then, I think cloud backup might be cumbersome. I would suggest carrying a small external hard drive. I have a 1 TB USB 3 drive that is really fast and very small. No external power supply. Plug it in, and copy the files. That's what I would do.

  • My wife and I share an Ipad.   We each have our own email address and calendar.   What is the best way for us to backup both accounts (we currently only have 1 ICloud account)?   Thanks for any help!    Alan

    My wife and I each have our own email address and calendar.  These are on one IPad.   The Ipad has a single ICloud account.
    What's the best way to backup both Calendars, etc?   Does ICloud automatically back up every account on the same IPad?  (I checked ICloud, but I could only find my stuff.)
    Thanks for any help!
    Alan

    First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup".  Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
    If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes.  An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user.  You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
    Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name).  You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose). 
    So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar.  But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc.  But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
    Does that make better sense?

  • What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

    Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
    To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM.  10GB free on a 256GB SS HD.  Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB.  All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
    I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1.  I prefer to work in Aperture.
    The Issue(s)
    Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries.  At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive.  (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
    So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
    When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries.  Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
    In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point.  I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image.  In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
    My Question(s)
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    2.  For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    3.  Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    Thank you!  Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
    With appreciation,
    Christie

    That will not be an easy task, Christie.
    I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
    1.  For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
    You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
    For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
    Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
    See this manual page on how to reconnect originals:  Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images  (the paragraph:  Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
    Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
    References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
    and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries.  Steps/process to fix?
    That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.
