Can't burn cd from downloaded music

I'm not sure if this is part of the upgrade that i was just forced to download, but i bought Beck's album, The Information (with music vids) and when i try to burn it to a cd, it says they are protected files. This rather infuriates me, because i personally like to be able to transport music (obviously) and if i thought i wouldnt be able to do something as simple as listen to it in my car, why would i spend the 15 dollars to download the album? Also, several of the videos, especially cell phone's dead, are very laggy and don't appear good quality, and it is definately not due to my system. I doubt I will get much useful advice here, but I just thought I would let everyone know, iTunes is a jip, and they force you to download their ****** upgrades, and then don't let you take the music that YOU BOUGHT off your computer.

Before the download was switched from AIFF to m4p (MPEG-4) I could burn anything to anywhere
What "download" are you talking about?
Downloads from the iTunes store have never been AIFF.
You can change the format of songs that get RIP'd from CD in the iTunes prefs.
I have come to think that my den CD player cannot handle m4p
If these are downloads from the iTunes store, then you are correct. It cannot handle downloads from the iTunes store.
Only the iPod and iTunes can play downloads.
You need to burn them to an audio CD.
If this is the case, then I do not think that Apple has done a good job researching what can happen with the new downloads.
New downlaods? There has been no change in the download format since iTunes Store opened.

Can't burn CD from "Purchased" music

I bought some CD's from the iTunes Store and they are in my "purchased" list in iTunes. On that screen there is a button on the bottom right of the screen that say's "burn disc". When I hit that it say's "checking media" then after about 45 seconds it just stops. Is iTunes not recognizing my Nero burning software? How do I activate the burner in iTunes? More improtantly how do I burn CD'S I bought on at the iTunes Store onto a disc to listen in my stereo? Thanks.
Bryan

FIrst goto Edit>Preferences>Advanced tab>Burn sub tab and make sure its set to "Audio CDs" and hit OK.
Also goto Help>Run DIagnosting>CD Diagnostic and copy/paste the resulting report here so we can better help you
Note: Purchased songs can only be burned in a playlist 7 times, after that you have to put them in a new playlist or rearrange the playlist there in, apple does this to stop people from buying an album and burning it multiple times and selling them for there own profit.
For example if you have a playlist with song 1 being a purchased song and song 2 and 3 non purchased songs, you can burn that playlist 7 times, after 7 times you would have to make a new playlist with those songs in it or make the purchased song number 2 or 3

Unable to burn cd from downloaded music error code -2004

I have just dowloaded some new tunes and cannot burn a disc. the error message is the typical one - error code -2004. yest, negative2004. any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated

okay. there didn't seem to be much else available from HP/Compaq.
so perhaps let's try working through the additional suggestions from the following document:

There's some third party applications available for recovering content off an iPod, iPhone or iPad. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

My iPad is downloading my video purchases automatically, but it's only downloading two episodes from Supernatural S10 that I have watched and deleted. I can't stop it from downloading, and I can't download anything else because of it. Help!

My iPad is downloading my video purchases automatically, but it's only downloading two episodes from Supernatural S10 that I have watched and deleted. I can't stop it from downloading, and I can't download anything else because of it. I don't know what to do. There is some sort of glitch happening and it's really affecting my iPad. I've tried letting it download but before it completes, it says it is unable to complete process and asks me to try again. I am on a limited interest data plan and can't afford these downloads to continue. What can I do?

Have you tried deleting the App within the Settings menu (rather than from the Home Screen)?

From the Apps list, find the App (press "Show all Apps" if the app is not in the immediately shown list), tap on the app you wish to delete, then tap "Delete App"

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

It will automatically download when there is sufficiant space. There is no way to prevent it or to delete the download. If he doesn't want it, he'll have to leave it there and not click Install.

Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout

Is there a way you can simply drop singles from downloads into itunes without disrupting layout, so you can say put some recently downloaded singles off the net into your own various folder without messing up the whole neatness of all the other album covers by adding fifty plus single covers...
ie. I just dropped a Naughty boy La la la single into my perfect looking iTune library and it does this...
Adds it as an album cover with no pic, and even if I add a pic, it isn't an album anyways!
I realise I can probably create and rename every single downloaded single to exactly the same info etc, but this is sooooooooo long winded!
Please help! everything else works perfect apart from this!

I have used I tunes to download music with a paid I tunes card. I can no longer open the music store to download my music. When I do open the music store it fades in and out, preventing me from downloading music.

I can nolonge download music from I tunes, because the music store page fades in and out and will not remain permanent to allow me to download music with a pre-paid I tunes card.
Also, why is it you can only download music to an I-pod from one primary computer. Is there a method that will allow me to download music from a variety of computers.

it only happens for previous purchases - if you have a computer you can try to download your purchase history there and then just sync them to your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386.

HT1491 Can't access iTunes from my Music, no iTunes app on my phone, unable to delete downloaded apps

After I reset my 4s, I am still unable to go to iTunes from my Music (it used to be on the top corner or pop up after using Shazam). I have updated my laptop iTunes & now am in the process of the iPhone update. I have done the apple id check and pretty much looked through every single option on my phone with no luck. I also have added an iPad to the account. When I log onto iTunes via computer it shows all 3 active. I am able to get to iTunes on my iPad.
The apps I have downloaded are unable to be deleted after resetting my phone as well. I can get them to "shake" but there is no red circle to delete the ones like google, facebook, etc. I have to connect to my laptop, remove & sync to get this done. My iPad is able to delete items on the device without connecting to laptop. Apple store told me I had to come in & offered no advice over the phone so if anyone could offer some before I make the drive, it would be much appreciated!!

Yes for iTunes store to work, you have to be on a WiFi netowork (not using Edge).
Now you may not, but most people have WiFi at home now (they setup WiFi in their house for their computers and other devices), so for those, they just join their network (Settings => WiFi)
Also there are free WiFi hotspots out in the world (Panera Bread, McDonalds, Coffee places, bars, etc). One would join them the same way.
