Why are tunes I buy in M4P and not MP3?

Music that I purchase is in M4P format and it cannot be converted to MP3 that I need for use in my FreestyleAudio MP3 player how can this be solved?

All iTMS purchased songs are in M4P format with Apple's DRM protection.
The only thing you can do to convert them to MP3 format is to burn them to an Audio CD, then re-import them (as any commercial CD) back into iTunes using the MP3 format.
You will, however, lose some audio quality as you are transcoding one Lossy format into another Lossy format.

    Why can I only buy full albums and not individual songs?

    If it's iTunes purchased music then you might be able to re-download it on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app - it will download into the Music app. If you want your other music from your computer's iTunes (e,g. music copied from CDs and playlists) then you will need to sync it from your computer's iTunes to your iPad's Music app.

  • Why are some messages pushing to mac and not phone?

    I am very frustrated, as, I have had occational times where a text bypasses my phone and goes to my macbook. My wife will use the laptop frequently and it happens sometimes when she is on the computer.   It will somtimes send a text the computer even if somone is not using it, though.  How do I get the system to send the message to both devices, or, to simply stop all texts from going to the computer?  thx

    Log out of iMessage on your Mac, and the messages will be forced to only go to your phone.   If your phone has no signal at time the message was sent to you, that could explain why Mac is getting but not your phone.
    I'd first try to logout of iMessage on both devices, then reactivate first on your phone, then your Mac.   See if problem fixes itself.

  • Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

    why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
    I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike

  • Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

    In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

    ''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
    Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
    '''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    * clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
    There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
    * Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
    * You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
    * "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

  • Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

    Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor.  Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

  • Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Why are clipping adjustments in the basic panel not being saved, updated or shown in the histogram? I am using LR 5.7 on a MAC OSX 10.8 etc.

    Here is more information and hopefully a better explanation. My version of
    LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits
    done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure,
    highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to
    the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the
    clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose
    to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the
    highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as
    little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the
    original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to
    previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit
    the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information
    reflected in the histogram.
    This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot
    and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the
    original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now
    incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't
    rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch
    the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have
    to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see
    before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming
    and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have
    noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the
    saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are
    all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the
    original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo
    in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have
    to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to
    look the same.
    Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge
    monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I
    am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in
    LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
    Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng  to see if
    this is a work around.
    Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS
    RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
    Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X
    10.10.1
    Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information
    would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

  • Iphone 4s with upgrade to ios 6, why are the images I save "save photo" not in my camera roll?

    Thx,

    Hey, I just had this problem, I went into Settings -> Privacy-> Facebook (which is where I was saving photos from) -> turned it on, then back to settings -> Facebook-> and logged in. When I went back to Facebook and saved a photo and it saved to my camera roll. I haven't tried it with anything else yet though. Hope this helps!

  • Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

    I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
    In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection.  Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

    Chris CA,  62,910 points.  Dang...that's a lot of support.  Before I start, let me say Thank You!  You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
    1)  You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own.  It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site.  I myself did not receive an e-mail.  I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed.  It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule.  I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me.  However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail.  I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
    2)  "Why look for iOS apps?"  That's a good very good question!  I miswrote.  I should have said "OS X apps."  That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site.  Good catch.  As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write.  I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain.  My bad. :-)
    3)  In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account.  It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice!  Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit.  Maybe it is there now.  But, it sure wasn't there when I read it.  It would have been very helpful.
    4)  You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)."  I am curious, what do you mean by "here."  Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum."  Right?  I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read.  By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community.  Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
    Well, I think that wraps it up for another day.  I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
    Adios amigos!
    Mr. Luigi

  • Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder?

    Why can I only see iCloud Drive and not iCloud in Finder? The latter is not available either under Favourites or Menu>Go>...
    After a clean install of Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro, I chose not to upgrade from iCloud to iCloud Drive because it would break syncing with my iPhone 4. My docs are still visible in iCloud, according to System Preferences. I can access them on my iPad but I not from my MacBook Pro. Calendars and Contacts sync ok.
    I tried logging out of iCloud, rebooting and logging back in, but that did not remedy the problem.
    What's gone wrong?

    Just so I'm clear. You have enabled iCloud Drive in your iCloud preferences:
    Now, in your Finder's sidebar you still do not see the iCloud Drive showing. In the Finder's preferences is it checked:
