Burning a CD downloaded from iTunes with Apple Lossless

As the subject says, I am trying to figure out how to burn the highest quality audio CD from an album purchased from iTunes. I've seen other articles that speak of the Apple Lossless, but have not been able to find it on the program anywhere. Does anyone know, is it possible to burn a high quality audio CD, using Lossless or something similar, from something bought from iTunes?
I tried to search the forums for an answer on this and came up empty, my apologies if I missed something and this has come up previously. Thank you for your help!

Regardless of what format the songs in the library are, when you burn a list of songs using the Audio CD setting it is automatically formatted to normal CD standard so the disc will play in regular players. Converting your iTunes Plus (AAC) formatted songs to lossless prior to burning would make no difference to the sound quality. You would only have a quality difference if the songs had been ripped/created in lossless format in the first place. Converting from a lossy format such as AAC to a lossless format such Apple Lossless can't add back the information already discarded when the file was compressed.

Why, I can't transfer apps (games) that i've download from iTunes with my computer to my iPad?I already did before like authorization my computer, sync, backup files. But when I want to transfer apps, it's can't. Any clues?

I can't transfer apps ( games ) from my iTunes library with my PC computer to my iPad. I already authorized computer, sync, but it can't installed apps that I've dowload before with my computer from iTunes to my iPad. Why?

Hi all for those still poping over to this topic, here is one problem that has not highlighted in the forums.
if you have used different accounts to download different apps into your ipad/iphone you need to authorize the computer for both accounts.
eg. [email protected] downloaded 'angry birds' and [email protected] downloaded 'money converter' both accounts need to be authorized on the computer will you then be able to transfer all the apps.
this works if you also used more then 3 accounts to download apps to your ipad/iphone. if you can't remember which accounts downloaded then i can't really help you there haha.
hope this helps!

Why does it take so long to stream movies from itunes with Apple TV?

Every time I try to rent a movie from iTunes, it says it will take minimum 40 minutes to load. Just now it said 5 hours and 30 minutes!!
What is the deal?

This is likely due to your network.

6mbps is required for instant HD
Check for interference (check www.istumbler.net for mac or netstumbler for windows)

Itunes with Apple Lossless and mp3

I have a Mac mini with iTunes.
How can I configure and the system such that:
- I want to play HD music in my living room so I will have Apple Lossless tracks for this purpose.
- I still want the same tracks in MP3 (because it takes much less space) and sync those on my iPhone.
Obviously I can have different playlists for the HD tracks and MP3 tracks.
Is there an application that can automatically discover newly imported HD tracks and convert them in MP3?
Is there a way to sync those MP3 (wired and wirelessly) to different iPhone/iPod without having them in iTunes?
Thanks in advance.
Paul

It doesn't do MP3, but iTunes has the abilty to automatically convert higher bit rate tracks, such as ALAC, to 128/192/256 AAC files on sync. There is no reason to keep multiple copies of the same track.
Just connect your iPhone and select it in iTunes. Click the Summary tab and select the option to "convert higher..." then select the bit rate you want.
Or, you can use one the new cloud syncing services such as iTunes Match, Google Music or Amazon Cloud Play. All these services will convert or "match" ALAC files to either 256 AAC/MP3.

Share downloaded movies on Mac (not from iTunes) with Apple TV

Ciao Guys,
Please, I need your urgent help and thanks in advance.
A friend have some downloaded movies on her Mac but she would like to watch those on her Apple TV.
Are there any chance for that? She has MediaPlayer on her iPad but we are searching another way for the shearing...
I only have iTunes movies so absolutely no idea about it.
She couldn't move those to the iTunes because of the extension of the files.
A BIG THX for the answer if I got...

If the Mac is very recent and running Mountain Lion it may be possible to Airplay them to AppleTV.
If you want to access them directly on AppleTv they would hav eto be converted to an appropriate format and added to itunes.

Downloading from iTunes with Windows Vista

I just purchased my iPod video and i am tring to download a free episode of something and it is saying that it is going to take 132 hours for it to download. I am using windows vista and i was wondering if this was a normal thing or if there was anything that i could do about it. Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help me.

Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

Problems Installing App Downloaded from iTunes Store; Error Code 0xE800000C.

I am unable to install a new app downloaded from the iTunes Store. I can connect with and download from iTunes with no problems. But when I go to install the new app, the installation first appears to proceed okay, but after several minutes a message shows up saying that the app was not installed, and giving this error code: 0xE800000C. During the installation, the progress bar pauses for quite a while at about one-fourth of the way across, then suddenly goes all the way across, and after that is when the message shows up. I also tried installing another app, an earlier version of the first one, with the same result. I have tried rebooting the phone and disabling my computer antivirus. I have been able to install apps to this phone in the past using this same computer. My iPhone has the latest software and I have the latest version of iTunes.
Any ideas how I can resolve this problem?
Thanks.
Geoff

I actually found the answer to my problem. After posting this question I still proceeded to trying to find the answer through internet searches and noticed that my specific Fault Module Name was Quickset.qts. I uninstalled and then reinstalled it and now I can play the videos just fine.
Thank you for taking the time to read. hope this helps someone in the future.

Wh can't I burn a disk with songs downloaded from itunes? It won't let me burn MP3 songs

I downloaded some songs from itunes and tried to burn them to a disk. When I tried to burn them as MP3 I got a message that the songs downloaded from Itunes can't be burned as MP3. Because I paid for the songs I'd like to be ablet o burn them to a disk. Any solutions?

The songs downloaded from the iTunes Store are in AAC format. If you wish to use them for an MP3 disc, you need to create an MP3 version using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 version, but leaves the original in the playlist. You can replace it manually.

Burning video downloaded from ITunes

is there a way to change the format of downloaded 'Shows' (not music) from ITunes (ex: 'The Office') to be able to save them in, and burn them w/ IDVD instead of ITunes? I want to be able to play the video downloaded from 'ITunes' in a regular DVD player. As it stands now, you can only playback these episodes on your Mac or an IPod... Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Troel

I don't believe there is a way of changing the Format. But there is an accessory
that you can get in the Apple Store(you can access that from the home page)
that will allow you to connect your iPod directly to your TV and play everything from it on your TV. RCA patch cords for sound and S-Video that will adapt from
your iPod to the TV.

HT1349 I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know!

I have suddenly lost the whole of my iTunes library, with the exception of music that I have bought and downloaded from iTunes Store. It was all there yesterday and I haven't altered anything, as far as I know! I hope it's something quite simple?
Apologies, but none of the communities listed seems to fit this question - so I'm taking pot luck!

For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

Hello Lcw2610,
I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

Hello, trying to download the latest iTunes software version, a pop up comes with a "invalid signature" message. Try to do download only with the same results. I can buy and download from iTunes but can't get the latest version?

HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

No, you will not loose anything. However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

How do I Download from Itunes store using the Apple Lossless format?

I use my music on a home sterio and import locally from CD's to Windows using the Apple Lossless format only, to achieve the Highest quality sound. However, When I buy from Itunes store I can only get AAC format, which is low quality. How can I get Itunes to give me only Apple Lossless format?
Your help will b e appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

I do agree with what i have been said. I am a musician, i think AAC is definitely medium-low quality. I bought this year lots of AAC 256 for Itunes. I have been surprised. SO many times i need to go to the equalizer to counter-balance the weakness of this file format.
I advise you to do the following. Import a CD using Apple LossLess and then import a CD using AAC 256. You will see a HUGE difference.
Now i start to buy CD again in order to get the music Quality. Then i import my CDs to Itunes using Apple LossLess (920Kbps). You will ear that on Snares and Rides. Bass will sound more natural. Bass, Medium, Sharp will more balance with each other. You will hear instruments with more clarity especially when there are a lot of instruments. Because of that, you will not need to raise up the volume.
But more than anything... you will gain VOLUME in your files.
In general over the internet all the online music stores including Itune doesn't provide HD quality. AAC 256 is not enough. A track bought over Itune Store should weight 30 megabytes, not 5. And then you would decide to compress it or not.
