Non-iTunes Store Content: Parental Controls

I'm trying to figure out how to use iTunes parental controls on content that I did not download from the iTunes Store. The contents contains both songs and videos that I downloaded from another site and ripped from CDs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but Parental Controls won't work with material you import from CD or another source, only with the iTunes Store. The solution to Parental Controls for other material is for you, the parent, to control what you put in iTunes for any user account to which your kids have access. The best route would be to set up an account in Mac OS X just for your kids, and only put into that account's iTunes those tracks you wish your kids to listen to.

  • Can I wirelessly stream non-iTunes Store contents from iTunes to my HDTV via AppleTV?

    All contents are converted to be iTunes friendly (m4v). They also play properly on my iPhone 4 and iPad. How can I watch these videos on my HDTV wirelessely, will it work on AppleTV? Again, all videos were downloaded and converted to m4v and were not purchased from the iTunes Store.

    Anything that is in the correct format and in the iTunes library can be streamed to an Apple TV

    Help! Thank you!

    If you're referring to the first part, covering "Transfer Purchases from iPod", that only applies to items purchased from the iTunes Store. It will not work with music you imported from CD or obtained elsewhere and put on your iPod.

  • Downloading itunes store content in Turkey

    Hi I'm from Turkey and trying to download "12 days of Christmas" free gifts each day. So far I can doownload music & music videos but not the tv programs or games. What content is available & unavailable in Turkey?

    I agree totally with you guys.. hadn't really thought about it since my kids are still too small to use appleTV by themselves so i'm still in control, but this will likely be a problem in the near future.
    i guess minimally i could accept if parental controls allowed the iTunes store content to be filtered so it only showed content based on parental control setting. This would also be good to filter out even myMovies content as well. Right now it only stops kids from playing movies, but not seeing the movies artwork. i have some horror movies that i really don't want my kids looking at the covers for as well.
    Turning the iTunes store off totally would be idea for an appleTV that will be used by kids.

  • My computer crashed and once restored I could only sync purchased content. I dont want to lose my non-ITunes puchased content. What can I do?

    My  computer crashed and once restored I could only sync "purchased content". I dont want to lose over 500 songs. My ITunes file now only contained the "purchased content" items. My Ipod Touch still contains all the original music. HELP!!  How can I download music from my IPod Touch and somehow get it into my computer (ITunes Lirbary)...... Can I down load my content to a computer that does not have ITunes installed?

  • Crashed laptop, new ipod - can I get my itunes store content?

    Hi, I just got a new i pod touch for my son as the old one was beyond repair (and kept by warranty repairers) His laptop has now broken and can't switch on. Is there any way to get his itunes store content via another PC. Also ,what if a repairer can get to his hard drive - can we retrieve it that way? Any suggestions appreciated as we are fighting in the dark here!

    Try here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Not all options/content may be available if outside the USA.
    Yes. Just copy the iPod media folder to the new computer if the above does not work. completely.

  • ITunes 10.5 Parental Control Issue - Cannot Disable Check for Updates

    We are looking at updating to iTunes 10.5 in a large company.
    Normally we add the following key to lock parental controls and disable the check for software updates.
    This locked or greyed out the check for updates check box. This does not seem to work in the 10.5 release.
    This did work in iTunes 10.4.1.10.
    Here is the registry key we are using.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default]
    "AdminFlags"=dword:00000101
    kParentalFlags_Locked
    0x00000001
    1
    kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates
    0x00000100
    256
    Other parental control options seem to work.
    Any suggestions?

    Same problem here!

  • Non iTunes audio content!

    What happens if you want to use your speakers for non iTunes use...like Quicktime, internet or even videoconferencing...would I have to unplug the speakers out of the AirPort Express each time...or is there a way to send content to the base station?

    I know of a way. This shareware app will do it:
    http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
    I tried it myself and it works ... but you only get one application at a time, and the audio is delayed by about a second. Probably some sort of buffer.
    In the end, I didn't bother buying.

  • Is there any way to transfer non-itunes store music to your iTunes?

    I kind of killed my macbook, and it had to go to mac support and in order to make it happy and shiny again they had to wipe all of its memory.
    Now, I've restored the song purchased on itunes to my itunes, but
    1. The iTunes/MacBook doesn't seem to be living harmoniously with my iPod, any way to make them realise they are long-time friends?
    2. Is there anyway to switch my non-iTunes-purchased stuff to my MacBook from my iPod.
    3. Finally if no. 2 can't be done, since I've already transfered the purchased stuff from my iPod onto my itunes library again, should I just choose the "Erase and Sync" option since when I connect them it gives me a ramble then the options " Cancel", "Transfer Purchases" which I've already hit/done, or "Erase and Sync" because I know the last will mean that I will have to put all my CDs back on, but alas, that may be what I have to do, but will that at least make them live harmoniously again with my purchased stuff safe?
    Sorry about the length of the question, and thanks to whomever reads it.

    2. Is there anyway to switch my non-iTunes-purchased stuff to my MacBook from my iPod.
    Try Senuti.
    It's a program that transfers music from iPod to iTunes on a Mac.
    As is Music Rescue.
    There's also a similar program called Yamipod which has a Mac version.
    I've used all of these on a Mac with great success.
    If you want to retrieve playlists, iPodRip has the feature enabling you to reconstruct them.

  • ITunes does not recognize non-iTunes Store-purchased music - Windows 7.

    No matter which iTunes Media folder location I select in 'advanced preferences', only songs purchased from the iTunes store are available in iTunes; not any ripped or otherwise downloaded music. This happened three days after downloading the latest iTunes update, after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and after moving music from a CD into the default folder location in 'advanced preferences'. After all this, I ripped a new CD in iTunes that played and displayed just fine in iTunes and was placed in the exact same folder as the 80 other CDs that are NOT visible, playable, or available in any other context in iTunes. I am spent. What gives?

    Right click on the video in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the video tab and see if you can set Video Kind to Movie

  • ATV not Authorizing iTunes Store content

    I purchased a movie from iTunes store but when I try to play it through the ATV it says that this ATV is not Authorized to play it. I can watch it on the iMac and I have deauthorized and reauthorized the computer. Can anyone help?
    Tks

    I have the same problem. I rented a movie a few days ago and transfered it to my Apple TV. When I attempt to view the movie I get an error. I transfered the movie back to my Macbook and was able to start watching it--however when I push it back to the Apple TV I cannot watch the movie. I confirmed my Apple TV has access to the Internet because I was able to watch previews of other movies on it. Moreover, I tried reseting my router, computer, Apple TV, etc. to no avail. I have this same problem with two other movies I rented.

  • HT201413 ■Unable to connect to, purchase, or download iTunes Store content

    I just updated my ios from 4 to 6. Now I can't download an app from Apple indicating unable to connect to Itunes stores

    I have the same issue, for the past 2 weeks. "we could not complete your iTunes store request, iTunes store temporary unavailable" I have found some old 2010 blogs about this issue but nothing has been resolved. I have tried all the suggestions through the apple site and nothing. I have tired to fix it through Norton and nothing.. I have emailed apple with all the diagnistic info i could.. so now i wait.

  • How do I put non-iTunes store music onto my iPhone without screwing it up?

    I backup to iCloud and haven't synced my iPhone since I've gotten a new computer. I have some music that is in my iTunes that i did not get from the iTunes store that I would like to put on my iPhone. When i try to make any changes at all, it says The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library? I think this is because of my computer switch, but that's all fine and good. I just don't wanna erase something irritrievable or screw up my iPhone in any way, I'm so confused and lost (and afraid to try anything rash, from past iPhone screw ups). Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you still have your old computer, copy the entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  (Be sure to copy the entire folder, not just the media folder.)
    If you don't, follow this guide: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive.  (If you're using iTunes 11, first go to View>Show Sidebar in order to follow this guide.  Also, Transfer Purchases in step 5 is now in File>Devices.)
