Grace period for iTunes Plus?

In the past couple of months (as recently as five days ago), I've purchased some non-Plus iTunes albums. Now, several of them are being offered as Plus upgrades to me.
Is there any grace period for newly purchased items, or do I just need to swallow a $3-or DRM penalty for buying something on its release date?

at least be pointed to some documentation about this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1711
"Can I upgrade previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?
Yes. Any available upgrades will be shown on the Upgrade to iTunes Plus page. You can upgrade all of your items at once by using the Buy All button. This replaces all eligible previous purchases with iTunes Plus versions of the same items. You can also choose to make individual upgrades by clicking the Buy button to the right of each item. Song upgrades are available for 0.30 USD, video upgrades for 0.60 USD, and albums for 30 percent of the album price. The counter to the right of the "Upgrade to iTunes Plus" link in the Quick Links box will indicate when additional eligible content become available."

Is there a grace period for apple email address?

Hey guys I was wondering if there was a grace period for apple email address yourname@'insert apple domain name'.com once you deactivate or delete it before it can be used again?
for example with phone numbers for certain companies it takes 2yrs once the number is disconnected for it to be available to be used again.
Which leads into why i'm asking this, as the reason for this is I had an apple ID/email address that i used when working for an apple reseller a few years ago and when i left i was asked to delete it. which i did but i would like to use the yourname part of it again with @icloud.com but its saying the email address is already in use.
Now i know what you might say that someone else could be using in but thats is very unlikely as i have a very unique name plus i also know that apple in their infinite wisdom kept all address ending in @me.com and @apple.com active in the icloud change over to allow association between @me.com accounts and @icloud.com accounts and i believe the later is the cause of my fustration.
If there is no grace period is there anyway to prove that i was [email protected] and delete that record so that i can setup [email protected] as the apple ID in question are different?

Apple Configurator - Passcode - Grace Period for Device Lock

Help.
I am using 40 new iPads in a classroom, using Apple Configurator. I set a passcode to the student profile, and the Grace Period for Device Lock is set to 4 hours. However, every time the iPad is locked, it requires a passcode to unlock it, even if immediately turned back on. The grace period function is not working. Anyone else have a problem with this?
-Dan

HI nsdjoey,
Many thanks for your reply.
Hopefully this will be an update within Apple Configurator soon. The configurator has the potentail to be a great tool but lacks soem really basic features.
I'll take a look at making an encrypted backup in iTunes, although none of my iPads are showing up as devices within iTunes. Maybe becasue they are in supervise mode ?
Also just noticed that iPad 20 is not appearing in the Configurator even though its conected and lit up in the sync cab. I've change leads and ports in the cab but getting nothing.
Thanks for your advice.

The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired

<p>I'm running Windows Server 2012, we only have 1 server and it's a DC. I'm trying to RD to the server from my Windows 7 laptop. It was working fine on Friday but when I came in on Monday I got message saying that 'The remote session was disconnnected
because there are no Remote Desktop License Servers available to provide a license'
So after a bit of digging I found out my 'grace period' had expired, so ordered a new license which I got today, installed this all ok but still i cannot connect via RD I get the same message....went into the RD License Diagnoser and it said the problem
was as follows
'The grace period for the Remote Desktop Session Host server has expired, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license servers. Connections to the RD Session Host server will be denied unless a license server is configured for
the RD Session Host server.'
Suggested Resolution as follows
Configure a license server for the Remote Desktop Session Host server. If you have an existing license server, specify that license server for the RD Session Host Server. Otherwise, install RD Licensing on a computer on your network and Configure RD Session
Host Server to use it.'
I cannot figure out how to do this as I cannot find the RD Session Host Server tool.
Can any of you lovely people help me please

Hello,
Best option would be to assign the license server by using AD GPO. Youl will need to configure the following:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing
and define the settings for:
Use the specified Remote Desktop License Server
Set the Remote Desktop Licensing mode
Then assign the policy tho your server.

ITunes Purchases not Available for iTunes Plus Upgrade

I have upgraded nearly 250 songs to iTunes Plus and have upgraded my library at every available opportunity, but I still have 155 songs that have not been available for upgrade. Many of the songs and albums that have not been upgraded are available for purchase in iTunes in the iTunes Plus format.
Why are these songs not being made available for upgrade? I have emailed iTunes support but have not received a response. Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution or information about if/when these purchases will be available for upgrade? Thanks!

What can apparently happen is that for various reasons (replacement of a track in the Store with another copy, slight changes in the release identification, etc.) the link between the track and your Purchase History can break, which will result in the track not appearing as eligible for iTunes Plus upgrade even though it exists as Plus in the Store.
What you'll need to do is contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page (there is no category specifically for this issue, so I'd suggest just picking one under the Purchases - problem area) and explain the problem to them. If you've already contacted them via this form, wait a day or two and if you don't get a reply (and if you haven't even received the automated reply you may have a spam filter blocking Apple's messages), try again.
It may take a couple of email exchanges to get past the "form" email responses, but eventually they should work out a solution for you. You may need to provide the track name, artist and order number so they can confirm the original purchase.
Regards.

Grace period for update to Logic pro 7.2

Hi all,
I just got my Logic Pro 7.1 today, version which I ordered a few days back. Does anybody know if I have to pay for the update to Logic Pro 7.2 or if there's a grace period? It's very annoying if I have to pay for an update.
Thanks for any informations
Baz

This not for us PPC users or users without Pro tools
Mostly for GARAGEBAND users wanting to switch to PRO
why they call it pro, i don't understand
after $75 Australian dollars and i still have to buy another plug-in to make logic work properly
what kind of morons are sitting behind Emagic seats right now, and if it still the Emagic guys then i feel sorry for you guys
Every other Pro DAW has this feature and it comes with the app with the price you pay, even the applications that don't call their-self pros has it
GOD !!!
you can't even change a tempo more than 5 bpm up or down without regretting to buy logic
the future of logic doesn't look great after all (i was so happy when apple took over and brought logic 7) it hasn't even that long and all the happiness are turning down after each update and each time i open the application)

Grace Period for document process

A document is submitted for approval. There is a defined length of time (grace period) that any approval can stay without being approved. If the document exceeds the grace period a reminder email is sent to the approver(s). If it exceeds the defined length of time times X (deadline period) then an email is sent to the requestor and a manager
     A field that defines the grace period. This field must be editable by the document administrator
     A field that defines the deadline period. This field must be editable by the document administrator
     Define standard email text that is editable by the document administrator. The standard text could be different for each email
     Review the grace period and compare it to documents that have been put in approval
     Send an email based on the comparison to the approver(s) with standard text
     Review the documents and compare it to the deadline period
     Send an email based on the comparison to the requestor and manager with standard text
can anyone help
thanks

Hi Venu,
I only said "like time based publishing service", I didn't say that you should use it. I only wanted to say: Look at how TBP service works, the same idea could be the basis for your implementation.
Properties: Under System Administration -- System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration -- Content Management -- Global Services you will find Property Metadata and Property Structures (with different subfolders). Just walk through them carefully to understand how properties are managed within KM. Once you got it, it's easy to implement/extend the given properties with your own ones.
Hope it helps

Buy button is gone for itunes plus after 10.4 upgrade

ever since I upgraded to 10.4 the buy button for individual songs in itunes plus is gone. the big buy all button is still at the top but I can't download them individually. the buy buttons for all the songs were there in 10.3. I've tried checking all the settings and I can't figure it out. any help would be appreciated.

Comzept:
I feel your pain. All I can offer is what I found worked for me in my upgrade from 3.9 to 4.9--and the WHY of that is not clear to me. Perhaps it could have been done better by trashing the .plist files that are listed above . . .
But, several things--you have provided little in the way of the details of your situation--what are you trying to connect and what error windows are you getting. So, if it's not exactly like macmend then maybe you should start a new thread/topic and provide more info. And, if you read my post at the linked thread you would see that it took me a long time to piece my personal answer together--depending on who reads your question that may be faster or slower. BUt, don't give up--I did a number of searches in the search discussion bar to the right and followed along to try to find other people who were having the same problem. The answer is probably simple if everything was working right before hand. And that is the question--was everything right before you did the upgrade--did you "repair permissions" and did you perchance "repair disk" using install CD before you did the upgrade? These kind of details can provide more info so that someone can help you with your issue. Good luck.

Support for itunes plus file transfer / playback

The lastest Nokia Media Transfer application for the mac allows the transfer of itunes plus (.m4a extension) files, these are purchased itunes tracks without DRM. From what I understand apple have modified the tag data on these files which prevents them from being played on a Nokia phone, the Mac transfer application will process these files to modify this data and allow the tracks to be played.
My question is, will windows users get a similar application, to avoid the use of third party / manual operations, to allow these files to be transferred directly from itunes to my Nokia in the same manner as the mac application?
Its usually the mac being the un-supported OS but appears to be windows in this case !

yeah, Apple have their own way of working with aac/mp4 tags. They add extra bits that other players, unless programmed to read, won't understand, and at worst they won't play the file at all. There is another standard, the Nero standard, and they are similar but the Nero version is more universally recognised. There isn't an ID3v1/ID3v2 for MP4 files, yet. Although, like I said, since 90% of the world uses the Apple method of tagging, that is close enough to being a standard.
It's not that Nokia don't want you using iTunes, or like you said, they would force Mac users to use a Nokia music program. I think it is just that the whole "PC Suite" philosophy is geared around the Windows Media Player way of doing and tagging things. And since WMP doesn't recognise m4a files, neither does the Nokias. To get around this, instead of fixing their mp4 codecs to recognise Apple formatting, they made a transfer program that swaps the tags to a Nokia-understandable format. Which is just silly.
I've tried the Suite Music Manager, I have. Honest opinion - use Windows Media player instead. BUT I don't want to use that either, I have a huge collection ripped/catalogued in iTunes, and I shouldn't have to go about fiddling with tags and swapping software/workflows just so my phone can play it. I don't need to with MP3 so why should I need to with AAC/MP4? It would only take a few lines of code in the phone's AAC codec for it to read these tags, surely thats easier than making transfer programs and Music Managers?
The arguement "Nokia want you buying from the Nokia store rather than iTMS" doesn't hold water either, because I'm never buying from either, as long as I can still buy CDs from the shop.
Like I said, this whole thing may be fixed with the new N95-8 etc. If its not, and Nokia have no intention of fixing it, then my next phone will be an iPhone. I don't WANT an iPhone, but this whole thing is a deal-breaker for me.

Artwork for iTunes Plus songs

Hi. My iTunes Plus songs don't come with album artwork and I can't seem to add artwork to them. When I open the artwork viewer on the bottom left-hand side of iTunes it says "Album Artwork Not Modifiable", and when I try adding artwork by going to Get Info it doesn't work either. Is this happening to anyone else? Maybe Apple didn't include the artwork feature in their iTunes Plus songs or something.
-Eric

yes, I know that all iTunes songs are supposed to come with artwork (in fact, all my iTunes purchases that are not iTunes plus have it), but my iTunes plus ones don't for some reason. In fact, as I said above, I can't even add artwork to them because the Get Info tab says that "Album Artwork Not Modifiable". I can modify any other info for the songs (like the comments field, genre, album, grouping, etc) and I do have read/write permissions for the song files and the folders they are in. Also, all my iTunes plus purchases are upgrades (I had the 128kbps DRM versions before), and before I upgraded, the artwork was modifiable.
One more thing: I just noticed that I can't add lyrics either. I can put them into the lyrics field, but they don't stay there (I put them in, press OK, then Get Info again later and they're not there).
These two problems (can't add artwork and can't add lyrics) happen with all my iTunes plus songs.
My iTunes plus purchases are:
Beastie Boys - Ch-Check It Out
Beastie Boys - So What'cha Want
Coldplay - Speed of Sound
Coldplay - The Scientist
Roxette - It Must Have Been Love
The Rolling Stones - Waiting On a Friend
The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up
The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burden
The Rolling Stones - Miss You
The Northern Pikes - She Ain't Pretty
Nat King Cole & Natalie Cole - Unforgettable
Heart - What About Love
The Beach Boys - Surfin' USA
The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
The Beach Boys - Kokomo

[locked] Will there be a grace period for CS5?

Hi.
I don't like this question about the new Creative Suite and when it will finally be released. But I've a question about the grace periods Abobe offered the last times after their release announcements. Will there be one for CS5 too?
Best regards

Rick,
Can you please expound on exactly what is meant by the "grace period"? Are you referring to the duration of a trial? Or possibly a certain length of time one is able to upgrade at a reduced price/
The "grace period," that I was referring to is the purchase of, in this case, CS4, just prior to the release of CS5. Historically, with a smallish window in time, where the newer upgrade is offered free to those who qualify. IIRC, that window has been about 30 days, prior to the official release of the newer version. Many software companies do similar. That is what I was referring to, and assumed that the OP was, as well.
Now, Adobe has done "pre-sells" for some programs, so I do not know how this might affect things. Again, only the product marketing folk can definitively comment. Mine are just speculation, based on decades of using Adobe products. Still, I do not recall having ever purchased an upgrade, within the time frame to get the new one free. I usually upgrade much earlier, and just use the new program. When a newer one comes out, I study it, and then decide if I really need that.
Hope that this clears up, where I was coming from,
Hunt

Upgrade Charge for iTunes Plus Songs

Doesn't anyone feel Apple is doing a disservice to its loyal customers for charging another $.30 for upgrading songs to iTunes Plus when others can get the same songs in the higher quality for the price we originally paid? It seems unfair but I'm not sure how others feel and how we can provide our collective feedback to Apple.

itunes menu > help > Provide itunes feedback
I don't really care. The original songs sounded fine to me for several years.
This upgrade is just marketing to make you want it.
Although I do think getting rid of the DRM is the way to go, it really doesn't matter since I've burned the older songs to an audio CD and can use them how I want.

How to check for iTunes Plus upgrades

I can't find the link to check if I can upgrade my iTunes purchases to iTunes plus. It use to be on the store's main page. Is it gone? Is there another way to check? I know that at least one of my purchases is for sale as an iTunes Plus selection but I can't find a way to upgrade.

If you don't have the iTunes Plus link in your Quick Links list, then you don't have any songs/albums that are upgradeable. I have the same problem that you described: I have some DRM versions of albums that are now available in iTunes Plus format. Yet they have never shown up in my upgrade section.
I e-mailed iTunes support about this issue. I received a response that, essentially, the new versions provided by the labels are slightly different in some way and cannot be matched to your purchase history. So you're out of luck.
If someone can shed more light on that, I would appreciate it. I'm obviously not too thrilled with that response.

Could not complete the iTunes Store Request (for iTunes Plus)

Since the announcement yesterday of the expanded iTunes plus library and the price reduction, I'm finding that if I click on iTunes Plus I always get the 'could not complete' message. Plus, many iTunes plus songs are still showing at 99p, only a few I've found are 79p.
I'm really surprised nobody else has reported this - is it just me?

No it's not just you, I haven't been able to access iTunes Plus either.
I assumed they were busy upgrading that section of the store but it's taking its time and if that was the case then there ought to be a more informative error message.
