Did Apple pay for all my CD's?

Did Apple pay for all my CD's from the 80's, 90's and 00's I uploaded to my Itunes? Seems like they did because to manipulate the files in any way (changing names, adding artwork) I have to go through several steps to "Authorize" myself to do so...Why? The tracks when Clicked on are all "greyed" out. I did some searching online to figure out how to take control of MY OWN music once again. However going through a series of silly prompts FOR EVERY SINGLE TRACK is time consuming and just...like why? I 've bough quite a bit of music (and other media) from ITunes over the years but 70% of my collection is CD's I BOUGHT MYSELF. In some cases starved for, as if a new Rush disc was out that week and it was that or lunch that day, there was no contest. Now I'm not blaming Apple for starving me during certian points in my life but what I'm saying is I PAID for all this music MYSELF with my MONEY. I OWN IT. Or do I? Once I uploaded all my Cd's they were given away traded off to shops or put in boxes never to be seen again. Why would I need them?
Well now that anytime I want to turn up a track a bit, fix some art, or edit spelling, I need to go through each album track by track and authorize MYSELF to do so???
Please some sane person explain this to me while I go through my 99 track Motorhead boxset so I can make it all one listing and not have it broken up in "CD's" as almost ALL of my multi disc releases are now. Man I hate when rich people mess with us unwashed...
Had to edit this because I was "Mad Typing" and the spelling and grammer was just amazing....

Not being able to edit details may be a permissions problem...
Repair Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or theUsers group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit...button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
For tips on organizing content in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums.
If you gave away/sold some of your CDs then you should also have deleted the ripped copies. You're only entitled to keep the ones that you have in storage.

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account. You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

How can we disassociate an Apple ID from a set of computers formated from a single computer using Carbon Copy Cloner and a single image and then Migration Assistant to install their old profile? The original ID is the Apple ID for all the stores.

Here is a bit more detail.
We were replacing old teacher machines and wanted to do it as efficiently as possible. Therefore, we set up one computer, through the OS installation and ran all updates, and then made a disk image so that we can use Carbon Copy Cloner to image all the other computers without having to run all the other updates. Once they were set up to a base level and assigned to a teacher we used Migration Assistant to import all their old files and items. Everything has been fine until recently the computers became aware of needing an update for one or two apps. The machine asks for the original computer's Apple ID for all updates. We have logged out of the apple id and back in with another to test if running the updates will work with that Apple ID and even after a refresh it still asks for the other Apple ID. How can we disassociate the Apple ID from those other computers so that the individual who owns the original is not needed each time there is an update or has to give out their Apple ID password?

There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded.

I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3. I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device. Anyone know how I can do this?

Create a new ID:
On the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
- Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

Greetings: I have multiple iPads and iPhones. I want all to be able to be able to stream to our Apple TV. All of the docs I see say you must have the same Apple ID for all the devices, but we each have our own Apple ID. Is this just a doc short coming?

You can each have your own ID for your own iTunes accounts, but in order for a device to stream via AirPlay to the same Apple TV, everything must use the same homesharing ID. This is not the same as your iTunes account ID (although it can be for one of the devices)

I would like to use my apple id for all my mail how would i do this

i would like to use my apple password for all my mail.

What do you mean by editting it ? You can update your account to be linked to a different email address (http://appleid.apple.com), but you can't transfer content from one account to another account

If My Headphones broke does apple pay for this for me?

I My Headphone that came w/ my iPod broke and it has only been 4 mounths does apple pay for them b/c the broke... or do i just have to buy a new set?

In the future, you'll want to post in one of the iPod forums.
If you live near an Apple Store, stop in and you should get a new pair of headphones.
Otherwise, go here: http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill out a request for a new pair.
