Windows XP User: I Don't Understand How To Get Photos Into iTunes
So I have hundreds of photos living in Picasa on my XP PC. How can I get them into iTunes (or anywhere for that matter) in a manner that they can be viewed via Apple TV?
I own Adobe Photoshop and ImageReady; are those potential solutions?
Help.
TIA
Hello BillyGoat
You can sync Photos to Apple TV from windows, knowledge base article 305139 (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305139) describes how to to it.

Don't understand why my music and video's in itunes don't easily port to a new airbook from my macbook. What a pain to wait for the cloud.
Just connect them via firewire/usb.

I don't understand how to get audio from itunes into my project
i am new to elements but have some basic understanding, but I can't get any audio into my project from itunes, just keep getting an error.

Thanks for the follow up.
On your computer hard drive, are you seeing .m4p or .m4a for this file?
Please check out the following online article on iTune music conversion to .wav (especially when DMR is involved).
http://www.aimersoft.com/itunes-drm/itunes-to-wav.html
But, going with your latest
the error is @the importer reported a generic error'
when i select the file to import it shows .MTS, in the error message it shows .m4a
all a bit confusing.
The first line of the above is consisted with having to convert the iTunes music to another format, preferred .wav (DMR or other reasons)
But there is something wrong with that second sentence. I have never seen iTunes music with an .mts file extension. Typically you see that with a video file with AVCHD compression (1080 variety). So, please take another look at the properties of the file that you are trying to import...video or audio? On the other hand, m4a is a MPEG 4 audio file.
Could you do a screenshot of the error message where you are seeing ".m4a" in it?
We will be watching for your follow up. Do not give up. We will figure this out.
Thanks.

I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.
Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes. You have two options.
1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes. You can get itunes at www.itunes.com Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder. This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos. If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device and follow the instructions. -

There is no solution and I don't know how to get the crash information on my computer....can anyone help as I want to finish downloading all my songs to match to be available on my mac products.
Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself. -
i have some music videos in realplayer, is there a way to get them into itunes? i can go to them and click 'open' but it doesn't do anyting. any suggestions?
and also, there are 2 other videos that i put in realplayer's favorites, but when i search for them in itunes, (or any other music software) they don't show up, why is this and how and i get them to show up?
and when i try opening the videos in quicktime 7, it says they aren't movie files.
thanks for any helpokay here it is.
1.go to google, search for videora, find the videora converter (thats free) DOWNLOAD IT
2. start up the videora converter and click transcode new video, find the video in your files from ares/limewire or whereever and click it.
3. see the thing beside it that says "New transcoding", once you've clicked a file from #2 press START (do not fiddle with the settings they make it so that your ipod reads the information)
4. it will take minutes to hours depending on how big the file is.
5. once it is CONVERTED (be patient) : go to itunes click file at the top -> go to add file to library .
6. okay your file is in a folder that looks something like this: C:\Program Files\VideoraiPodConverter\Videos . therefore you need to find wherever you uploaded your program (videora) and find the file
labelled "videoraipodconverter" (unless you changed it)
7. once you find this file (in program files most likely) click on "videos" and your video should be there, uploaded and converted
8. there, you're done and it should play both sound and video on your ipod
okay, so enough topic dicussions about this.
please leave comments where i am too vague or it doesn't work and happy holidays
PS: if you're downloading from a CD or DVD you have to save it in a file before you can convert it. Try saving it in "my music"
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR windows XP not MAC
thanks,
KM

I still don't understand how to get video on my iPhone-HELP!
I have an iPhone and a iPod Classic and I just can't figure out how to get video on my either device, nothing I do works. I'm not talking about buying movies, etc from iTunes, I'm referring to videos I already have on my computer, converting them to the appropriate file extension (which I still have no idea what that is) and then where do I put these videos on my computer in order for iTunes to recognize them and pull them in?
I wish these devices were simplier to work with, where they acted as hard drives and you could just drag and drop what you wanted where and play them. But of course it has to be more complicated then this because Apple wants to control the users experience (sound familiar?)...I'm an advanced computer user and I have to admit that I'm embarrassed by the fact that I can't figure this out.
If anyone can give me SIMPLE instructions and a program to use to do video converstions I would appreciate it.
Thanks.Im not going to be a great help as im on OS X, bit Ill have a go:
For a number of reasons, iTunes and the iPod/iPhone only support a handful of types of video file. Mainly a file type called .mp4 which is normally h.264 with embeded metadata. This isnt a special Apple video file, and as long as it doesnt have DRM, can be played on many modern devices such as the Xbox360, PSP, PS3 etc.
The only limiting thing you have to watch out for is the resolution of the video as some devices will not be able to play the higher resolution content such as a 1080p HDTV stream on an iPhone, it just wont play!
So what you need to do, if you have videos in many different file types such as realplayer, wmv, and avi etc, you need top convert them to mp4, and then optionally add cover art and tag the file with show name etc.
None of this is built in, partly because Apple wants you to buy content rather than get it elsewhere, and partly as itts a little more complicated than making an mp3 at the moment.
On my Mac I use a program called Handbrake (free) that can rip from DVD to an iphone version, and a program called VisualHub that can convert just about any video type to iphone format. After encoding the video, i use a program called MetaX to correctly tag the video fiels so that they are easy to find in iTunes and so that I can make smart playlists etc. Do this and the files in iTunes act just like if you had purchased them from the store.
Now, I dont know whats good for Windows, but I did a google search and found this which is free and for Windows:

How to get photos into photo stream?
How do you get photos from your iPhone camera roll into photo stream?
OK, after a bit of Googling I managed to get my photos from the iPhone to my PC without iTunes or a desktop app. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-pictures/i-cannot -download-pictures-from-my-iphone-to-my-pc/94f5c656-c1d9-48e6-9b6f-796ae048b75e
When I plug my iPhone into the PC as well as iTunes coming up the Windows AutoPlay popup appears. If I choose Open device to view files in Windows Explorer, I can then see the folder containing the photos and copy them to my PC. This worked fine for me, although from Google others have had problems.
I suppose I could now put these back into the Photo Stream on my iPhone via iCloud by putting them into the Photo Stream/Uploads folder on the PC.

How to get clips into Itunes Movies
I am a Windows XP user, and I have a bunch of JPEG files on my computer, I'd like to put onto the Ipod. Drag and drop doesn't seem to work - might be because the clips are all in windows media video format. Does everything have to be saved in Quicktime, or will Itunes automatically convert it for me?
with your jpg files you can connect your ipod than you choose the photo tab you check selected folders you choose the directory which your picture are and sync to your ipod.
but putting your videos you have to convert your own video yourslef it takes one or two hours to convert a video to mp4. you must get a video convertor to mp4.(avs video convertor)
if you are waiting for itunes to convert your video i wish
it will never happen! -
How to get photos into computer
Can someone please tell me how to put photos I've taken with my iPhone, and put those photos into my PC? I've looked everywhere and I find info only on how to do the opposite of what I want to do.
Thanks guys...
KarenHi there. I'm the developer of one app that may be able to help you getting your iPhone photos to your computer if you continue having problems with Windows. The app is called 'Photo Transfer App' and it allows you to transfer photos from iPhone to computer over your wifi network. Here is the link to the app's website where you can see how it works and get more details about it: http://www.phototransferapp.com/
I hope it will be useful to you if you can't get your photos off the iPhone with the USB cable.

How to get photos into Quick Collection?
I just installed
Lightroom 3 and I have lost
my circle to put photos into Quick Collection. " Set Quick Collection as Target" is grayed out, but no other collection has a white + indicating that it has been designated as a Target Collection. What can I do to restore my circle for Quick collection? Thanks for your help.I don't have my LR3 test laptop in front of me, but since your preferences are probably started from scratch when you loaded LR3, right-click one of the images in the grid and select "view options". Under the "Cell Icons" options there is a box that should be checked called "Quick Collection Markers". See if that works.
You might have other options like this that you selected in LR2 that didn't make it over to LR3 automatically.
