ITunes purchased songs messing up my movies.

I used to be able to add purchased songs from my iTunes library to my iMovie HD movies. If I do this now, the sound is "strangled" and the movie "hobbles". Has iTunes changed the encoding on songs to prevent this kind of use? I enjoy enhancing my movies with added sound tracks. Please tell me the cruel truth!

Thanks for taking the time to answer! I do burn all my songs to CD's for backup. I have had a hard disk crash on me. Not pretty! Sometimes, when I am editing movies, none of those songs fit the story and I go and find a tune in iTunes. It's just annoying that one can only do one burn session per CD....I will end up with lots of CD's with one song on them:) No way around it, it seems. I will look a lot in iTunes Plus in the future. Hopefully, the selections will improve.

  • Can't use itunes purchased songs in iDVD

    I'm trying to use a song I purchased on itunes as music for the menu of an iDVD project I'm working on, but all I get is the following message: This computer is not authorized to play "01 Americal Girl.m4p".
    I was able to do this just fine until yesterday when I had to update itunes for my new ipod nano. Now I can't use ANY itunes purchased songs in iDVD or imovie.
    Please help me solve this!!

  • HT1386 how can i get all of my music transferred to my iphone? only itunes purchased songs will transfer, not my whole library.

    How can i transfer my itunes music library to my iphone? currently it will only transfer itunes purchased songs and not my whole library.    

    For non-purchased music like CD rip music, or website downloaded songs, you need some third party software to copy the music from iPod to mac. If you need details, here is a guide about how to get music from iPod to macbook. Hope it helps.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • Can't burn itunes purchased songs onto a cd

    I created a playlist consisting of previously downloaded songs (not purchased from itunes) and itunes purchased songs. When I attempted to burn a cd of the playlist, only the previously downloaded non itunes were burned into the cd. During the burning process the meter at the top of the page indicated that the itune purchases were being read, but when I played the cd on my car cd, and later on a friends cd, the itunes purchased songs weren't there. When I play the burned cd on my computer all the songs are included. I've tried slowing down the recording speed, trying both audio and data cd options with the same results. I am using cd-r cd's. Can anyone help?

  • Problem syncing non itunes purchased songs to itunes from ipad

    How can I get music from my ipad NOT purchased in the itunes store to sync to my computer? iTunes won't allow non iTunes purchased mp3s to transfer.

    You can only copy iTunes purchased songs back from your iPad (or other iOS device). If the songs are not already on your computer, and you havn't got a backup of your content on, for exampe, external drives or CDs/DVDs that you can copy onot your computer, then you will need to do a search on the internet to see if there are any third-party programs that can copy them back.

  • Why can I not use my itunes purchased songs in idvd/imovie?

    Upto about two months ago I had no problem adding itunes purchased songs in my idvd / imovie projects - now I cannot. A warning message comes up about needing to authorise the computer and although I am using the same mac as I did when purchasing the tracks I still go through the process of authorisation - the tracks are still not available.
    I have just purchased an xbox 360 and when connecting my ipod my purchased songs are once again unavailble to play even though I can play them using my ipod in the normal way.
    Any ideas would be very welcome, thanks!!

    wilson68
    You're allowed play the music on up to 5 devices. Each device must be authorised. Unless you can connect the xbox to the apple store to be authorised, you will not be able to play the music on it.

  • How to import iTunes purchased song into video with "Muvee autoProducer"?

    Using an iTunes purchased song and also "Muvee autoProducer" for the first time and can't use my iTunes purchased song to import into my video. Following the instructions the song doesn't come up as a MUSICFILE, but it is found by selecting ALLFILES. It is an Audio file (protected). For some reason the Windows Media player symbol appears as the program to open file. I select to add it to my video and an error occurs:
    "The format of the music file that you have selected is not supported."
    5(80040265).
    Have I done something wrong ? Can I change the file format in some way to use ?
    Solution is greatly appreciated THANKS!

    I think I have figured it out. I found Popcorn 3 and Crunch by Roxio which will do the job!
    Thanks everyone!

  • ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

    Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

    I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
    If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
    SeaGate  http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

The DRM protected content is opened in Safari where the DRM is decrypted and the video is played. iOS 8 issue In iOS 8 Apple device has NOT enabled Safari based DRM decryption. Therefore DRM protected content, i.e. purchased movies or TV shows from iTunes, CANNOT be streamed from the Media Drive/WFD in iOS 8. This issue has been reported to Apple. We do not have any estimated date when Safari will support DRM decryption of iTunes purchased content.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

It appears that Apple finally fixed an issue they had with their movie DRMs. The files should have never played in the first place.

  • Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

    Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

    because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library.  to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
    1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username.  If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
    2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes.  Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
    3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button.  after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
    if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
    4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
    5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username.  You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
    6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

  • Itunes purchased song stops half way through

    I recently transfered my itunes library to a new Macbook 13 inch. It was tricky to do because my library was on an external hard drive. I did have to redownload some, but not all of my purchased content. Now many of my itunes purchased songs are clipped midway through the song when played. This is only happening to songs that I purchased in itunes. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?  Thanks!

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.

  • HT5085 how to add previous libraries to my current library of Itunes purchased songs

    I was able to recover some data from a Windows computer that completely crashed on me.  I now have a Mac.  I have downloaded all of my previous ITunes purchases, but I'm trying to reconstruct my entire library, even if I have to do it with ITunes Match.  I see a folder with "previous ITunes libraries."  How do I get these libraries (and hopefully my full song library integrated into current library?  Also, I probably have other backed up ITunes libraries that I can recover from an online back-up.  Is the procedure the same for those libraries also?  Thanks!

    It’ll automatically be in the iCloud for the old Apple ID if it’s possible for that movie, but probably can’t be put into the iCloud for the new one without buying it again, and definitely can’t from your end; if you want to ask anyway, click here.

  • Using iTunes' purchased songs on DVD?

    New Mac user here.
    I read something recently that concerned me about DRM limitations on iTunes music. I make a lot of videos and slide shows. I will purchase a specific tune from iTunes just to use it in a slideshow. Can I use iTunes purchased music in a slideshow and export it to burn to a DVD?

    My concern was unfounded. I misread a FAQ at the Fotomagico website. My concern would be valid only for "third-party" applications, according to the website below. Phew!
    Here is the text from the FAQs pages at the Fotomagico site:
    "How can I use songs purchased on the iTunes Music Store?
    FotoMagico cannot include audio from songs purchased from the iTunes Music Store in an export movie, as Apple prohibits third party applications to access the sound data. We do sincerely hope that Apple eventually changes its DRM policies. You can use the songs when presenting the slideshow live in FotoMagico."

  • HT1491 iTune Purchase - Song

    I purchased/downloaded a song from itunes to my iPhone 4s, but it won't play. Its in my library of songs but its "grayed' out when i tap it, nothing happens, it still doesn't play, it just goes back to the page where all my songs are.
    I wanted to re-purchase, but it keeps saying "you already purchased" and there is no other choices but "ok" which brings me back to my songs.
    How do fix this, can I down load it again without having to pay for it? What are my options?
    The Order # MJ3YZ610W1, Item: Take Me to the King, by Tamela Mann, cost was $1.29
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Rita Taylor

    Hello Rita,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue with your purchased song. 
    To be able to download the song to your iPhone again, you will need to delete the grayed out version of the song from your iPhone first.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Next, you can download "Take Me to the King" again from your list or purchased songs on the iPhone.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the songs, you will not be charged for the songs.
    You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
