Copying protected aac audio book

Is there any way I can backup a protected aac audio book downloaded from iTunes. I have my music backed up on an external hard drive. I would like to back up my book on a cd if this is at all possible.
Thanks for your help in advance
dave

You could also just backup onto your external drive along with your music. You'll find then in your iTunes media/music folder in a folder called Audiobooks ( or in iTunes just right click and Reveal in Finder)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

    I would like to copy music and audio books that I downloaded from cds from my ITunes to my Smartphone.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    you would have to read the directions that came with your smartphone to learn how to put content on it.
    Itunes syncs with Apple devices.

  • 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.

  • HT1349 Can't sync purchased songs listed as protected aac audio file to Blackberry Link. songs marked just aac audio file. Repurchased one song and worked O.K.. Is there an easier way than having tp re-purchase half of library?

    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.

    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

  • 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.

  • Cannot play protected AAC m4b books and podcasts

    I have a number of podcasts that are protected AAC files in m4b format (to be bookmarkable), along with a number of podcasts/audiobooks from Audible.com also in that format. Despite being synced with the authorized machine for these files, my Apple TV gives me "The selected content could not be played" when I try to play them. What gives, and how can I get them to play?

    No they are not purchased / downloaded from iTunes, just from a normal podcast RSS feed. I think that a few versions back, iTunes had some issues with DRM-free bookmarkable podcasts/audiobooks which may have influenced the decision to use a DRM'd audiobook file.
    I do see a "Create AAC Version", the standard "Create..." option based on my audio CD import settings, but nothing specific for Apple TV. Of course, presuming the Apple TV can play this new file, that presents a major workflow and convenience issue. I'd much rather find a way for these files to play natively, and of course with Apple, I mean "major" in that I would have to remember, do something, and wait, instead of everything just working like it's supposed to, heh.

  • 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).

  • Purchased, Protected AAC music won't create Audio CD

    This is a newly manifested problem. I used to be able to do this. ANY playlist containing ANY purchased and protected AAC format music won't burn an audio CD on my onboard superdrive. The drive initializes the disk and iTunes reads "Writing...(first song)". However, nothing further happens.
    I have left the system alone for up to 30 minutes with no progress indicated on the burning status window. I have tried a variety of playlists with different combinations of protected and unprotected formats. (These playlists WILL create a data disk.) All protected songs will play on the computer. Ejecting the disk ruins the burn of course and I have wasted 12 CDs trying different configurations.
    ANY playlist with NO purchased songs burns properly and quickly as an audio CD or data disk. I have reauthorized the computer on iTunes. I have reinstalled iTunes7.0.2.

    iTunes will only let you burn protected AAC audio 10 times.
    This is incorrect.
    You can burn purchased music in a specific playlist only 7 times.
    If you want to burn more, you need to change the playlist.

  • Artwork doesn't xfer to BlackBerry unless its a "Purchased AAC audio file"

    I've got a new BlackBerry Bold. I've had good success transfering my iTunes music to my phone, but I can only transfer album artwork for some of my songs. Only the songs in iTunes that are "Purchased AAC audio file" seem to successfuly transfer to my phone along with their artwork. None of the artwork transfers for my imported CDs or any iTunes purchases that are "Protected AAC audio file" even though I paid for these albums. Can anyone help me solve this mystery?

    I have 2 categories of songs on I tunes that wont download to my new BB Bold- in all cases on the playlist on the BB music sync playlists it says the songs are "Protected (Digital...."
    1- songs originally downloaded from CD's onto I tunes, I have been able to download those onto Ipods but not the Bold, I don't have this problem with all music from CD's just some
    2- some purchased songs from I tunes wont download to the Bold-- I paid $.30 to remove the DRM for all songs that Itunes gave me the option to do that with on a message that popped up, yet other songs purchased from Itunes still wont download and I get the same "Protected (Digital...."
    any suggestions on how to get those songs onto my Bold?

    I purchasd an ITune Audio Book using a borrowed Windows Computer. After the Download I attempted to Sync and was told that I was synced to a different [something]. It then asked if I wanted to sync to this [Something] I said yes. IT wiped all the stuff off my IPod then gave the following message:
    The [title] was not copied to the iPod [name] becuse you are not authorized for it on this computer.
    How can I get this to work?
    It considered the computer pretty acceptable when it took my money for the title. I think I have been ripped off.
    THis whole SYNC is an innecessay step. Why can't I just download stuff to my iPod (from any sourch by the way) and delete it from my iPod when I don't want it any more.

    Hello LeaMinovitch,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still authorize your computer.
    In some cases, iTunes may ask you to authorize the computer again. iTunes should use the same authorization as before if the computer is in your list of authorized computers.
    Learn what to do if iTunes repeatedly asks you to authorize when you try to play your content.
    Best of luck,
    Mario
