Hello, Can anyone tell me...if I purchase a music album from the iTunes Music Store, can I download these onto an ordinary mp3 Player, or does it have to have the Apple OS system , i.e. the ipod?

Hello,
Can anyone tell me....am I able to download music purchased from iTunes store onto a non-apple mp3 device, OR NOT?
I am relatively new to Apple , so am fairly new to the system!
Thanks!

You can, but you will have to create a new version of the songs that you download from the store (they will be in .m4a format from the store which your MP3 player won't support).
After downloading a song, go into iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) and on the General tab click the 'Import Settings' button and on the next screen change the 'import using' to 'MP3 encoder' (or one of the other options if your MP3 player supports it). To create a MP3 version of your downloaded song(s), select/highlight them in the Music part of your iTunes library, control-click, and on the popup select 'create MP3 version' (the 'MP3' will change depending upon what you've selected as the type on 'import settings' options).
Creating a different version of songs : iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
You should then be able to copy the music to your MP3 player in the same way as you normally do.

  • I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

    p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

    Micky,
    The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format.  Most Android phones can play AACs.  Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
    If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide: 
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
    (This conversion does not require burning.)
    For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices.  You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

  • HT4623 I already have ios 7.0 installed in my iphone 4S. Although the size of ios 7.0.2  shows only a few MB, but when i click update using from my itunes it shows it is downloading 1.19GB. Why is this ? Do i have to download 1.19 GB?

    If you update using iTunes, the full iOS is downloaded. If you update directly on your phone, this is called a "Delta" update, & only the changes to the iOS are downloaded. That's why you see the difference you see.

  • My windows says i can't download firefox installer because file is corrupt, it does not have an electronic signature

    after i donated 5dollars to become a member of firefox, i was given a file to download onto my laptop. this file is suppose to allow me to begin the process of setting up or installing firefox into my laptop that i may browse the internet. after i saved this file into my laptop i tried to open the file so i may start the process of setting up firefox into my laptop but my system says firefox file is corrupt it does not have an electronic signature. therefore i can't complete the firefox set up process that will allow me to have firefox installed in my system that i may browse the internet.

    You should not be paying for firefox, delete whatever the file is and run malware checks on your computer.
    Obtain a proper version of firefox from say getfirefox.com for free and install that.
    * presumably you are using Windows (your system info, aside, suggests you are using IE ) see [[installing firefox on windows]]
    * and [[is my firefox problem a result of malware]]

  • Can anyone tell me how to separate original photo files from the edited files in Photoshop Elements 13?

    We run a child sponsorship program and we only use the edited files and delete the originals after they are edited due to space restrictions. We are using Mac's and we save our photo files each month into a folder (Not Iphoto) and then pull them into Photoshop Elements 13 to edit and resize.  When they are saved, Photoshop Organizer saves the edited files in the same file folder as the original.  We then have to manually go through and delete the original Photos.  We tried exporting and that does only export the edited files, but is there any way to edit photos and then the edited photos go into a separate file?

    GLADIXIE a écrit:
    For all 5000 photos?  Surely there is a simpler way after we go through and crop each photo and clean it up and then resize it?
    I imagine that what you want, once you have edited your month files in their month folder, is to delete the original and keep only the 'top' file in the version set. Then select all the files in your folder (Ctrl A), right click on any thumbnail and choose 'Version set'. In the dialog that opens, select 'flatten version sets'.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

    hi, can anyone tell me, if i purchase a used iphone4, how will i be able to register it with my apple id? currently what ever i do it asks me for the apple id and password of the previous owner. Please help

    you have to restore to ios 6 and then sign in with your own apple id,
    any apps etc on the iphone now, will not be able to be backed up and used in the future as they are not linked to your apple ID. and if you plan on using the previous owners ID then you need there [*** which I assume you dont have.
    simply just restore using itunes then setup as new with all your details and your done, you can go to the appstore and start getting your own apps

    Can anyone tell me how they are handling software distribution for the iPad in an enterprise environment?

    The new Business Volume Purchase Program is pretty interesting...it can be used to centrally purchase and distribute paid ( not free) items from the AppStore.  We are getting setup to use it.  You can keep an eye on licenses etc.  You can also use a single centralized form of payment.

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • Can music from the ipod classis be uploaded to icloud? If so, can someone tell me how to accomplish this task?

    Can music from the ipod classis be uploaded to icloud? If so, can someone tell me how to accomplish this task?

    Hi Crystal,
    So I cancelled the first & only order I will ever make thru this company & want my account deleted.
    I can't get thru to anyone by phone or chat. Is there no other way to accomplish this?
    Sorry for this hassle. No, you need to contact them. What is the problem you are facing in contacting them?
    What happens if I sign out & just never sign back in?
    You might still get charged. Let me know if you still can't get through.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    Can anyone tell me what this Time Machine error means? The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features?

    AFP - Apple Filing Protocol
    The Network Attached Storage (NAS) that you are pointing Time Machine at does not have the features needed by Time Machine in order to do its Thing.  Time Machine needs some specific features that are not typically available on generic networked storage devices.
    There are manufactures that support the Mac OS X HFS+ file system formats and implement all the needed AFP protocol packets necessary so that they can be used with Time Machine, but apparently yours does not.
    If you are not using a networked mounted volume for Time Machine, then more information will be needed about your Time Machine setup.

  • I recently purchase a tv episode from the iTunes store, however, can not download to my IPOD Touch.  Apparently, a format issue, any suggestions

    I recently purchased a tv episode from the iTunes store.  However, I can not get the tv episode downloaded to my IPOD Touch i.e. can not sync movie although music works fine.  From what I read it is an issue with the format of the episode.  The format is HD and apparently is too much for my IPOD touch.  According to the documentation, the SD format for the episode should have been downloaded at the same time as the HD.  I have the latest iOS for my IPOD Touch, 4.2.1 and latest for ITunes 10.5.3.3.  I am using my PC with Windows 7.  I can not download directly to the IPOD Touch since access to the clous is required i.e. iOS 4.3 or higher.  Any suggestions? 

    My suggestion is for you to do the downloads overnight.

  • I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    I have just purchased a new Mac and want to sync my ipod - previous computer was PC - can I recover tunes from the ipod to the Mac?

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine 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 iPod but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPod with it.
    above covers purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
