If they are iTunes Plus songs (purchased since 2009) you can convert them to MP3 by following these instructions:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process will create a new MP3 and leave the original AAC in place, so make sure you are using the new one for your player.
If you have any "protected" iTunes song files, you need to first upgrade them to iTunes Plus, and then do the conversion.

  • HT201272 I downloaded an album but one of the songs is corrupted, it only plays for about 4 seconds. When I try to re-download using the iTunes Store and "Purchased", it won't give me the option to download it again. How can I get the song I PAID for!!??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    how can i convert my song into .mr4 for making it my ringtone, just renaming it is not working?

    Here's how:
    If you are using Windows, make sure you are able to view the file extension.

    1. Select a title (.mp3 or .m4a) in your iTunes Music Library
    2. Do File > Get Info on selected title (Windows do Edit > Get Info)
    3. In the dialog choose Options tab
    4. Set Start Time and End Time (no more than 35 secs otherwise won't work)
    5. Close dialog.
    6. Now control click the title (right click) and choose Create AAC Version
    Note: If you don't have Create AAC version, switch in menu File > Preferences...(Windows do Edit > Preferences...) > General > Import Settings... > Import Using: AAC Encoder.
    7. When it is done, drag the newly create title to the desktop.
    8. Delete the newly create title in iTunes. <-- This step is important
    9. Rename the title on your desktop from ringtone.m4a to ringtone.m4r
    10. Drag and drop it into iTunes
    Now you have a ringtone.
    Make sure it is selected in iTunes > Tones for syncing with your new iPhone.

  • HT203200 how can I get the songs I paid for when I paid for a whole album and only got part of it

    Today I purchased Rick Dankos album but some songs were left out how can I get the music I paid for ?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Can I get the songs I paid for from iTunes on a different computer?

    I had a mac Mini many years ago and have not met a mac user since then and just figured all the music was on the computer.  I can't remember any login info, though there are certain ones I use.  How long are your music purchases good for?  Can I retrieve them onto another computer?

  • How can I convert itunes songs to ringtones

    I have just purchased on iphone 4.  I have many songs that I bought through the iTunes store that I wish to convert to ringtones.  I have tried several apps such as Ringtone Maker, Myxer, etc., and I get to the point where it just fails.  Either I can't copy the file to my desktop, or the songs won't sync to my phone or something else happens.  I watched ste-p-by-step videos of one app and when it gets to the next step, it won't allow me to do that option so I can't "finish".  Then on another, the text instructions don't give me an option that shows in the list.  Does anyone know of an app that works to convert these already-purchased songs, or some way that I can use my songs to convert them to ringtones.  I called Apple Support and they were no help since they don't support any of the "other-owned" apps on the iPhone.  I paid a lot of money for this phone, and even more in all the iTunes I purchased, there's got to be something I can do.  I love this phone, but the small choice of silly ringtones is the only thing I don't like about it.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • TS1389 I tried all these steps and iTunes still won't let me play songs I paid for... Every time I authorize, it repeats that it's already authorized, but won't play because it's not authorized ... Catch 22

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

    How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
    My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
    Many thanks in advance...

    iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
    The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
    If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
    In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
    Then select the songs you wish to convert.
    From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
    When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
    That's it.
    BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

  • HT201272 Itunes is a ripoff I am missing songs i paid for

    missing songs i paid for

    I have been plaged by this for months!!! and nothing worked for me until...
    Solution:
    plug your phone in and in itunes "remove all music and podcasts" or "unsync" all your audio from your phone. I did this by unchecking the box that said "sync selected songs" so it was like I didn't want any music on my phone.
    sync it
    now go back and check the stuff you want in your phone and vwala it should re-sync all your old music back to your device.
    I hope this works for you like it did for me.

    how can I convert *.m4p songs in ITunes  to *.wav songs ?

    the only way i have found is thru converter software. i use a program called "avs" it was $30 i believe, maybe $39. but it was the only way i found for me to convert itunes songs to a .wav file so my kids could put those songs on a "sansa" mp3 player.

    oh the error msg    error= -100000

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Can I store iTunes songs onto the iPod by using it as a HDD?

    Hello. I would like to know if I can store iTunes songs onto the iPod but not as a nMP3 player but as an external HDD. For example, suppose I load 1000 songs onto my iPod to listen to, could I take those same 1000 songs and store them as well? 80 GB is about 10 times the storage I'll ever need so instead of backing up all of my songs onto a DVD or external HDD, I wanted to store them on my iPod. I understand that I will be storing the same songs twice (one for listening and one for backup). Is it possible?

    A similar issue but with video files. I have created several Gb of video files and backed them up on DVD. Now I want to only store them on the iPod Classic and be able to paly them on the iPod. My current method is to copy the video files onto the iPod (with disk use enabled) and set iTunes to NOT copy songs/video to the iTunes Music folder. Now when the iPod is connected I drag the video files to iTunes and it creates a link to them (located on the iPod whjich is behaving as an external hard disk) and lists them under TV Shows (or Movies). I can now sync them to the iPod and play them successfully.
    Although this works I end up with two copies of each video file on the iPod. I am guessing that if I delete the original (data) video file iTunes will get upset and remove the second copy from the iPod as well when I next do a sync.

  • How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks

    How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks?

    3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
    iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
    You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
    Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
    If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
    The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:
    http://handbrake.fr/?article=download
    When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • How to do I have my rented movie played from iTunes? I paid for it and the last time I checked, it was still downloading

    I rented a movie called "Holes" from iTunes. I paid for it with my iTunes gift card. It took a long time to download the movie, so I went and took a nap. I woke up and tried to play the film and it will not show. It doesn't even show I purchased it nor does it show it's available to rent. The balance on my gift card shows the movie was paid for. Where is my movie? How do I play a rented movie I purchased for on iTunes?

    All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If you are on a very slow connection and it's going to take longer than 24 hours (48 hours if you aren't in the US) to download a rental then don't start playing it until it's completed downloading - the 24 or 48 hour countdown starts as soon as you click play.
