Can't download music in anything but protected AAC audio file.

When I download music it always comes as a protected AAC audio file. Previously I could download as AAC audio file and copy to a CD to play on Car Stereo. Can't seem to do that any more. All protected AAC audio files will only play on itunes and will not convert. Any ideas?

Sounds like you have your burn options set to "MP3 CD" Instead of "Audio CD" if its wanting to convert a file.
Goto edit>preferences>Advanced tab>Burn sub tab, set it to "Audio CD" and hit OK

Can,t sync purchased songs marked Protected AAC audio file to Blackberry Link. Songs marked just AAC audio file O.K. Repurchased one song now listed as AAC audio file and now works. Any simpler way to do this with existing protected song other than re-purchase all of them?

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

My iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3.5) can't play my protected AAC Audio files

When i try playing an older song i have purchased in iTunes, of the "protected AAC audio file" type, my iPhone just skips it. And this is on both my new acount and my old acount. I made two playlist to test this issue, and the older "protected" files does not work, but all the new "purchased" files work fine.
I should think this is a software problem, and more people are experiencing this, but i couldn't find any ohter threads with this issue...
HELP! I want to listen to the Johnny Cash album i purchased in 2006...

five computers... not devices!?
anyhooo, i de-authorized all devices for that acount and re authorized, then tried syncing again... no result!

Protected AAC Audio Files Help

My own computer no longer has internet, where before it was connected to the main computer downstairs...
I recently formatted my C: drive and reinstall Windows XP Home Edition and had to reinstalled iTunes and added all my music to iTunes again.
Problem is I have to authorize all my Protected AAC Audio files but I don't have internet so I cant listen to them. I can only listen to them on my iPod.
Is there another way of authorizing my songs with the use of another computer w/ internet?
Many Thanks.

Sorry, no. An internet connection is required on any computer long enough to authorize that system.

Upgrade protected aac audio file

I have many protected aac audio file on my Mac that I want to convert to MP3. Any suggestions? Most sites suggest right-click on song and select upgrade, but no such option appears when I follow those directions. Thanks.

The policy where you used to be able to pay an upgrade charge on a per tune basis appears to no longer be available and you can only upgrade DRM music by subscribing to iTunes Match. If you only have one or two tracks you have to decide if it is worth the money.
iTunes Match - http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ - see FAQ at end too
Remember, you can burn DRM music to CD (I think 7 times) which then behaves as a normal audio CD.

How do I make a ringtone with GarageBand for my iPhone from rights-protected AAC audio files I purchased from iTunes?

When I try to import some songs I purchased from iTunes into GarageBand so I can create a customer ringtone a window pops open stating that I cannot import a rights-protected AAC audio file? I bought the song from iTunes and can play it on my iPhone iPod application. Does not make sense except from a mercenary perspective why I cannot create a custom ringtone from the song and play it on my iPhone when the phone rings. Is there a solution?

You cannot use DRM protected songs for this as they are drm protected to stop you from doing this.
Any itunes plus ( all itunes music sold over the past couple of years or so) can be used to make ringtones.

Not able to import protected AAC audio files

Can i do this? In the past I was able to import these purchased files, and then with an update, I no longer could. When I updated my system to 10.3.9, I was again able to use the music I purchased thru itunes. Now, again I cannot. What happen? Is this something Apple does on purpose, not letting us use music we purchased from them in their programs?

I am not sure what you mean by putting the G4 to sleep. I put it to sleep and had to wake it up, copied songs to cd, deleted songs from itunes and reimported them. Again, they came back as protected AAC audio files even though I selected AIFF files.
Reading a tourtorial on imovie it mentions you can get songs from the istore and import them to your movie. So, it is suppose to work.

Won't Sync Protected AAC Audio Files

We've got a 2nd gen shuffle that won't sync protected AAC audio files. The background story is that my hard drive fried and I had to rewrite it. I've reset the shuffle and now we're trying to put brand new music on it. It will sync the song that is labeled "purchased AAC audio file." Fact of the matter is, we purchased all of them!
Any ideas? Any help will be most appreciated.

1. Try playing one of the songs that won't sync in iTunes then try to sync them again.
2. If that doesn't work, go to the Store menu at the top in iTunes, Deauthorize your computer then play one of the songs you purchased. When prompted enter your Apple ID and password, then Resync.

Purchased vs. protected AAC audio file

seems like all my "purchased" itunes songs are labeled under the Kind column as either purchased or protected. what's the diff?

iTunes sells songs, so they are all purchased, but not all of them are protected with DRM. So if you buy "Plus" songs from the iTunes store that are Plus songs and lack the DRM protection, then they are simply purchased but have not protection (which means you can can convert them directly to MP3s for example, which you can not do with protected tracks).

HT201272 Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased I had no problem retrieving from itunes with no charge but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again.

Before backing up my old iphone4 I traded it in for an iphone5. All of the apps I purchased had no problem downloading to my new phone from itunes with no charge, but I can't download music that I have already paid for that was not backed up w/out paying again. How can I get these songs to my new phone without having to buy them again?

Whether you can re-download music depends upon what country that you are in (and whether it remains in the store). If you don't have a Music section in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone for re-downloading it, then do you not have you library on your computer's iTunes or on your backup of your downloads ? If not then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download

HT1711 How can I download music VDO to my iPad ? I can manage to do 1 music from Boyzone,I tried but no music VDO for me to buy,Please help!!!

How can I download music VDO to my iPad? I can manage to do one from Boyzone,Please somebody help!Thank you.

Ok...I'm going to go through what happens on my PC step by step and see if anybody has a suggestion on what I need to do.
I just plugged in my iPhone...a box pops up that says "Apple iPhone, Camera Connected, Select the program to launch for this action:" I then select Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard and click ok. Then a box pops up that says "Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard...it shows an icon of a camera and a computer monitor and says "Reading Picture Information" it does this for a full minute and then a box pops up that says "The computer cannot detect the scanner or camera. Please make sure the device is turned on and is properly connected to the computer"
Now here's step two that I try:
I go through "My Computer" I can see the camera icon that says Apple iPhone...I right click on it...and one of the options is "Get Pictures" so I click on that...and the same box pops up from before that shows the camera icon and the monitor icon and says "Reading Picture Information" but this time a different message pops up that says "The scanner or camera is in use. Please try again later"
So the next thing I try is double clicking on the icon instead of right clicking...it opens an empty window but on the left hand side gives me some "Camera Tasks" to choose from and I choose "Get Pictures From Camera" The same "Reading Picture Information" pops up and then the same " The scanner or camera is in use. Please try again later" message pops up.
The phone is not locked.
This is driving me insane...I've been trying to do this since I got the phone 6/29/07 I've ran the windows update to make sure all my stuff is up to date...I DON'T GET IT.

I have one account, but use it as two for years. One is home, one is work. Recently we upgraded to Windows 7 at work and a new email system. Now I can't download music at work; work tech support can't help but said to use my work email address. Failure

Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades? How can I resolve this?
