DRM free and Backup

I was wondering if I upgrade my present purchases to the DRM free option, and burn another backup disc and select "Only back up items added or changed since last backup" from the backup menu (iTunes 8.0), will this enable the DRM free option on the previously backed up tracks if I ever have to use the backup (11 discs total)? I was hoping I wouldnt have to burn 11 more discs again. Also, will it enable the 256K bit rate on my previously backed up purchases, once I run them all?

When you upgrade to iTunes Plus, it does nothing to the original files.
Selectng *Only back up items added or changed since last backup* will back up all the new iTunes Plus and anything else you have added since last backup.
Also, will it enable the 256K bit rate on my previously backed up purchases
No. It doesn't "enable" the old files to change. You purchased entirely new files.

Is the store DRM free yet?

I haven't used the iTunes store before, mostly becuase I never liked the idea of DRM. Months ago, I read that in 2009 many songs would be going DRM free, and the entire store DRM free sometime in 2009.
Has this happened yet? If not, how do I know if a song is DRM Free or not?
Also, is there a way to tell what bitrate the song is at before purchase? I read something about more and more tracks going to "iTunes plus" - higher than the usual 128kpbs rate of the store.
Thanks.

I quote:
iTunes Plus: Every song on the iTunes Store is now a high-quality, DRM-free iTunes Plus song.
That's per [this Apple web page|http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatsnew>.
The bitrate is 256 kbps.

Where to buy DRM free movies?

Hi. I want to legally purchase movies on the internet, download them onto my computer, then drag-and-drop them into iTunes to play on (stream to) my Apple TV. I need the movies to be DRM free so that I can add subtitles to the movies. Does anyone know where to purchase movies legally on the internet that are DRM free and that are in a format (MPEG-4) that iTunes recognizes? Thx

I know of no legal place where you can purchase feature films without DRM. The movie studios don't want their movies out in an unprotected form. The only exception I know of are Warner Brothers' "Archive Collection" which appear to be downloadable without DRM, but those are all old and/or obscure content (1920s through the 1940s, mostly).
Regards.

What does "Only DRM free/unprotected" mean when trying to transfer pictures and videos to my laptop?

Only Digital Rights Management music and video which you do not own rights to copy or use cannot be placed on your device.
songs you have paid for or own outright will not have those restrictions.
hope that helped?

Xbox 360 and iTunes DRM free

Excuse me if this has already been asked, the search feature is disabled.
I am unable to stream my DRM free songs purchased on iTunes to my 360. I thought they were DRM free? I can convert them to MP3 but then that would eat up a lot of space on my hard drive. Is there any other way around this? Thanks.

I have a friend that had the same problem, what you do is individually on each song (or album) whichever you prefer and right click on the song and the menu will come up, there will be an option that says "Create AAC Version" select that and it will create that version of the material and you can burn a cd or put on your xbox

DRM Free Music and ability to play on another Mac I own

I purchased an upgrade to DRM-free music about a month ago; all purchases were upgraded.
With this as a given, is there some reason why my iPod - packed with music - cannot be loaded onto a second Mac? When I connect the iPod to my second Mac I'm essentially told that the iPod belongs to another user. Yet I am the only individual on both of these systems as well as the owner of the iPod.
Or am I misunderstanding the purpose, in whole or in part, as it relates to the DRM-Free upgrades I paid for?
Thank you,
Mark.

Connect the iPod to your second computer and choose to transfer purchases from it, either from the dialog box which appears when you connect it or the File menu. This requires that the computer be authorized even if all the music is DRM free.

How do I upgrade music to DRM free so I can play on my Sonos?

How do I upgrade itune music to DRM free so I can play on my Sonos?

I use dropbox.com to edit my website from multiple computers. It's free for up to 2GB of storage.
Install dropbox on all the computers you will edit from and then keep your domain file in dropbox. Any file that is edited on any computer is updated on all the other computers.
By default your domain file is located in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder. Just copy it to the dropbox and double click on the file in dropbox to begin editing that file. Keep your file backed up frequently as all your edited work is in this one file. If you lose this file you will have to start from scratch unless you keep backups.
Only one person can edit the file at a time. If you edit the file from two locations at the same time your file will become corrupted.
I have never had any problems using dropbox to edit from multiple computers.
Sincerely, David

How do I find/upgrade to DRM free Music from EMI

I just read that EMI and Apple have agree to sell DRM free music at a higher quality for $1.29. iTune purchased songs from EMI can also be upgraded to DRM free tracks at $0.30 each. The problem is where do I find them? I can't seem to find search EMI Records on iTune. Is there an easy and fast way to upgrade all my tracks from EMI?

According to the original announcement the new downloads are scheduled for release sometime this month. If everything goes according to plan I would expect they should be available from the iTunes Stores in the next few weeks: Apple Unveils Higher Quality DRM-Free Music on the iTunes Store

I had the same problem. Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections. I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked. This did though: I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work). It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer. I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore. Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back. I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

I just updated my iphone 4 to IOS 7.0.4 and it gets stuck backing up on step 2 of 7 and sometimes says step 2 of 4. I've got 2.09 GB free and ive reset it and still wont back up.

It also says my phone has never been backed up to the computer, but ive been doing it for 2 years on it. My Ipad 2 also was getting stuck on step 2.

Hey there Ashleyehall,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like iTunes is unable to complete a backup of your iPhone. I found this article for you to help troublehsoot the issue named:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

Symptoms
iTunes stops responding when backing up or syncing with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I know if the album is DRM free?

How do I know if the album is DRM free?
I want to buy http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/house-of-beni/id464729917.

I have two Apple accounts. One that I created to purchase my iTunes music from (before Mobile Me) and my Mobile Me account.
I no longer wish to maintain two accounts.
This is not only limited to my iTunes Music, but Find My Mac, My iPhone, My iPad...
It is getting to be difficult to manage all this and I want it all consolidated into one (my .me) account.
So my question is Can I move my library to another account. Not should I, but CAN I?
If it is truly DRM free, I don't see any reason why not.
Sidenote...
I do not wish to move the music to another machine. I will still use it on the same Mac it's already on now.
And if I can't delete an account, that's ok. I will simply stop using it.

Cannot copy text from DRM-free PDF on PC

I can on my Mac. Both use Adobe Reader v11.x. I think the behaviour started when I updated to version 11 on the PC.
I cannot copy text from DRM-free PDFs that I read. I can switch to the Select Tool cursor but drag-select does not work as it did before. Double-click can highlight (and copy) a word. A triple-click can do so for a line. This is clumsy and inefficient and I cannot grab more than a line of text.
File > Properties: Security shows 'No Security'. I am stumped. Is there some detail I am missing? (I downloaded and switched to FoxIt Reader to take notes now but prefer my knowledge of navigation shortcuts in Adobe Reader.)

Hi jroth,
How are you "re-printing" the PDF? Once you have a PDF file, it shouldn't be necessary to re-create it just because you've made changes. You could simply save the file at that point. But it sounds like you're concerned about preventing changes to the comments. If that's the case, rather than reprinting, you could assign some document permissions to the PDF to prevent people from changing the content. To assign that security, choose File > Properties and click the Security tab.
I'm guessing here, because I'm not sure what process you're using, but it sounds as though that second iteration is being printed as an image. That would change the searchable text to an image, and could certainly cause the issue you're encountering.
Best,
Sara
