Why can't I transfer 24 bit m4a files from iTunes to iPod?

Im trying to transfer, what was originally a FLAC and is now converted to m4a, to my ipod touch 5 in iTunes. It transferred to iTunes just fine, but when I drag the album up to the top right corner of the iTunes window where my iPod shows up when its plugged in, it just doesn't copy ANY of the files in the album. No error messege or anything, it simply just doesn't even transfer it.

iTunes is quite good at failing silently if it doesn't want to do what it is asked. It doesn't say so explicitly here - http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod-touch/specs.html - but I suspect that there might be a limitation to 16-bit audio on Apple's devices. Wrong, seems the issue is more likely to be the sample rate. See this old post.

  • Can't move, transfer or sync files from laptop to iPod

    I have an 80 gig Classic and last week it decided not to sync. iTunes told me to restore. I did that. It would not sync any of the music or video that is still in the iTunes folders. After deleting iTunes, rebooting, downloading latest version and re-installing the same problem continues. The error message I get is "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because they could not be found. For a list of items that could not be copied click below." It lists all of the files in my library. If I can find them in the library, see them with Windows explorer and they show up in iTunes, why can't they find their way to my iPod? What am I missing here? Any suggestions?

    Hi brentfrommi,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPod touch may not be recognized by iTunes. The troubleshooting steps in this article can help:

  • Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) to iTunes??

    Why can I no longer import Mp4r files from my desktop (Macbook Pro) into Itunes?  Seemed to work perfectly well before the latest upgrade.  Feeling quite annoyed, especially when all the forums seem to give the same advice, which no longer seems to work!!  Please can someone help!  Uploading a file should not be this difficult!!!

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • Why can't Bridge open my raw files from Canon PowerShot 120-S? Using PS/5

    Why can't Bridge open my raw files from my new Canon Power Shot 120-S camera? I'm using PS-5 and had no problems with other Canon cameras. I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw 8 but this has not resolved the problem.

    1. you need cr 8.3+ for the Canon PowerShot S120
    2. ps cs5 can only update to cr 6.7
    free solution: use the dng converter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
    integrated solution: upgrade to ps cc.  here are the options (but especially note the photographer plan for 9.99/mo) - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.

  • Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes to show on my Apple TV3?

    Why can`t I get my complete library from Itunes on my Imac to my Apple tv3? I only got the option for music and photo`s. I want internet radio to show too

    Internet radio is not part of your iTunes library. There is a separate section on the ATV for radio if you wish to use or you can use airplay via iTunes.

  • Updating music files from itunes to ipod

    hi,
    i'm having troubles with my 4gb nano.
    i'm using manually manage my files.
    i've dragged and dropped music files from itunes to ipod.
    but when i change the id3 tags of those files in itunes, then "update my ipod" from the file menu,
    it does not update (with the names, details etc) of those same files onto my ipod.
    is this meant to be?
    do i have to manually drag the "new" detailed music files again?
    thanks for the help

    OK so let me ask the basic question you failed to include in your post.
    First question is how is your iPod set up with respect to syncing with iTunes? Is it set up to auto sync everything, auto sync only specific playlists, or is it set up to manually manage ?
    Let's start with that and go from there.

  • Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...

    I can't open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 on Elements 7. The files from my old Nikon D70s open but not my D7000... Any Idea why?

    Not sure what your version of PSE is but if it is PSE13 then you may need to update your product by going to
    Help >> Updates
    This ensures you get the latest updates to support all known cameras in the market.
    Old products may not have the latest updates so you need to use DNG converter for which there is a wonderful video that is self explanatory:
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

    I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

    ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
    Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

  • Why can't I send older RAW files from iPhoto to Adobe Camera RAW?

    I have a 20" Intel iMac (OS  X 10.5.8) and use iPhoto '09 (Version 8.1.2) for storing and organizing the digital images produced by my Nikon D200 and D700 cameras. When I wish to edit a photo I right click on the image and select Edit in External Editor. The external editor is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.
    In iPhoto/Preferences/Advanced for RAW Photos I have checked "Use RAW when using external editor." Recently I successfully sent new D200 and D700 RAW images from iPhoto to PSE 6 for conversion by Adobe Camera RAW (Version 5.4.0.57). However, I was not successful in attempting to do the same thing with older D200 RAW images taken more than three years ago. In all cases what showed up in ACR were JPEGs rather than the RAW images. I don't understand why this is happening. What is needed to resolve this issue? Any remedial information will be appreciated.
    Bob

    Well all of that tells us that the Library is sound and not corrupt - which is good news.
    Now the question would seem to be 'Why isn't iPhoto respecting the settings you've chosen in the Preferences?"
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Why can't I email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard?

    Whenever I try to email a pdf file from Acrobat XI Standard, nothing happens. Outlook 2007 is my default
    email program. I have checked the preferences to be sure that Outlook is checked as default, and it is,
    but when I click on the email icon or select email from the dropdown menu, nothing happens. This is

    Be sure that MAPI is properly active in your Outlook. I am not an Outlook user, but that is what is needed.

  • Why can I no longer play movie files from within iPhoto '08

    After uploading all my stills and movie files from by digital camera to iphoto '08, I used to be able to click and play a movie file from within iphoto. The frame and duration still appear but no response. Have I inadvertantly switched something off or has the funtionality changed as a result of my upgrading the OS.

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.
