Download count?  Stuff posted on Itunes without consent!

Hi,
I recorded an album with a good friend about 6 years ago. I recently discovered that this album is being sold on the Itunes Store without the consent of either the primary writer (my friend), or any of the musicians that played on the album (myself and others). Is there a way to find out how many times the songs have been downloaded, and who uploaded it? We haven't seen a dime, and my friend is really upset about this.
Also, how do you upload music to the Itunes Store. I have several albums I am interested in posting.
Thanks!
Gary

You'll need to contact the record label which licensed the album to the iTunes Store. That should be shown in the listing page for the album. Only the label could give you details on downloads and it's with them that you'd have the dispute over royalties.
As to getting other albums onto the iTunes Store, contact Apple via their web page for iTunes Marketing. You'll probably want to read their FAQ first.
They’ve reportedly been swamped with requests, so don’t be surprised if you don’t hear back from them soon or indeed ever. If you don't hear from them, you might want to consider working with the label who posted your first album (though you'll have to decide whether you can work with them or not) or signing up with a marketing service that already has a relationship. In another post, an Apple employee said that there are 600 already, including CD Baby and IODA. A new service that seems promising if true is TuneCore.
Good luck.

  • HT1353 Can you download radio to the old 2nd generation ipod nano? There is no category for downloads, only stuff bought from iTunes.

    My 3rd generation ipod nano has blanked out on me. I have a 2nd generation ipod, was able to download my music from my iTunes library on it, but it would not download radio programmes from my download library. There is no category on the ipod for downloads, is this because it doesnt accept them?

    It depends on what you mean by radio programs exactly.  Where were they originally downloaded from? Do they appear in the music category of your iTunes library?

  • Hi Can anyone tell me how can  i download ios 5 by using itune without connect my iphone?

    Hi, due to my network bandwidth very slow in my area. In order to download ios5 needed about 3 hours thus, i wish to download in my pc by using itune but without connect to my device? Is itpossible? I had try to go to the help in itune - check for update but it only asked me to update the itune version but not
    asking me to download or update my iphone OS. Can anyone slove my problem?

    I believe if you connect the phone, start the download, then disconnect your phone, the download will continue. You can use your phone, and when the download is complete, reconnect it to the computer to update its software.
    This works for an iPad software download through iTunes, I don't see why the same shouldn't work for the iPhone.

  • Downloading iTunes Without QuickTime

    From the latest update from Apple to iTunes users with Windows XP, there have been many having a problem opening iTunes without receiving an error. The latest resolution posted was to download an older version of QuickTime first, and then download iTunes without QuickTime bundled. This is where the fun begins. All web sites I have searched so far claim to have the iTunes download without QuickTime, but they all include QuickTime with the download.
    Does anyone have an idea of where you can download iTunes without QuickTime bundled? Thanks!

    Have you tried downloading the installer for Quicktime Pro 7.3 + iTunes and running it?
    It should come up with two options "Repair" or "Uninstall" ... then choose repair and it should install iTunes 7.5 ... try that and see if it works. Instead of downloading iTunes + Quicktime, you download Quicktime + iTunes ... I know it's the same thing, but the installation of Quicktime is then checked first, and that accounts for the "Pro" paying customer part.

  • I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps!

    I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps! Does anyone have an ideas about what I could do, to prevent all my things deleting, because I won't be spending more money on apps that I have already purchased once!!
    Thank you,

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • I purchased tv episodes on apple tv and had to delete the episodes to make room for me to be able to download other stuff.  Now I want to watch those episodes I already paid for again.  How do I re-download those episodes without being charged again?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Assuming you are in a location that supports re-downloading of TV shows, you can download any purchased TV shows from the purchased option in the quick links section in the top right-hand corner of iTunes on your computer.

    Hi,
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/?src=search Xmarks] is a bookmarks/history/tabs backup/sync utility. It is not a feature of Firefox. It is an extension which had to be manually added or perhaps could have come with another extension.
    If you have registered with the service you have to enter the username and password to log in to the service. Otherwise try pressing the '''Esc''' key on the keyboard and after Firefox opens, go to '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click Extensions on the left and look for Xmarks and '''Disable''' to disable it or '''Remove''' to uninstall it. If that doesn't work, start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode.] In the first screen choose '''Disable all add-ons''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' and repeat the above procedure, but this time, re-enable all the needed extensions except Xmarks. You may also have to re-enable the plugins after clicking '''Plugins''' on the left).

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • I downloaded a free App called ThaiPad from Bangkok Post newspaper. I downloaded on my PC running Windows 7. The Bangkok Post recommended itunes for downloading. I completed download but it would not open. I am assuming that perhaps this App. was for iPod

    I downloaded a free App. called ThaiPad from Bangkok Post newswpapers. I downloaded on my PC running Windows 7. The Bangkok Post recommended itunes for downloading. I completed the download but it would not open. I assume that this App was for iPad or iPod etc as the Bangkok Post wants to sell content,  after the free content,  via itunes store I assume. Can someone tell me if I can open this in Windows 7 and if so how. Thanks.

    Any app that you download using iTunes is for use only on iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, and not on a PC. It's possible they have a separate app for PC, as some companies do, but the one you downloaded via iTunes definitely will not open in Windows 7.

    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

    I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?

    Demo the same thing happened to me.  I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi.  Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?
