Help!!! Legal advice for using iTunes music as a DJ in the UK

Hi. I work as a DJ and would like to use music I have purchased from iTunes in a club where all licences (PPL & MCPS) are paid. Can I get permission or pay a fee that allows me to do this legally? And if so how do I go about this?
Please help!!!

DJ in the UK, Typically the way that it works here in the United States clubs pay royalties to ASCAP, BMI etc.... and the Governing body is the RIAA, The Club usually purchases or Pays the DJ in which the Licensing fees are paid. To the best of my understanding Apple abides by domestic and international laws that prevail with regard to copyright and royalties ie. RIAA and other governing agencies internationally.
To the best of my understanding after reading Apples TOA you are in no way prohibited from playing that music you legally purchased for a Public Audience as long as local applicable Laws and Licensing fees which by the way are not dictated by Apple, are paid. Apple is a retailer not a governing body. The terms of the sale, TOS or TOA terms of agreement from the Apple store are intended to protect Apple from any unwarranted legal actions. However, since Apple is a private for profit company and not a Governing Institution. For the laws in your area I would contact a Barrister familiar with Copyright and Royalties similar to the RIAA, Ascap and BMI here in the U.S.A.

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

No, I have the music I want to move from the laptop to the phone selected. Then I go under file, devices, and try to click sync but it is not available to click.

What is the best product for using itunes only?

I am considering buying a laptop / notebook / ipad or whatever for using itunes only. The goal would be to add all cd's to the product and then increase my collection via downloads only going forward.
Can anyone recommend the best product for this please? I have an ipod nano and I'm new to the iphone, so I'm an Apple convert, although I'd consider a non-Apple product too (sorry Apple!).
Budget is tight!
Thanks in advance

Without a bit more info, it's hard to answer your question.
How many CD's do you intend to keep on the PC/Mac/iPad as an iPad has a maximum storage of aprox 55Gb's for the top model, whereas even a basic PC laptop is likely to have 150Gb plus of space. Plus you are going to need a PC/Mac to copy the CD's in the first place, unless you intend to buy all your music from the iTunes store.
For me I would look at either a MacBook if you can go to the £1000 price bracket, or look at a MacMini and cheap screen then transfer the music to your iPod/iPhone or sadly from a price point of view you may have to go the Windows route as a basic laptop will start at £400

Using iTunes music

I tired using iTunes music while making a picture DVD with music on my PC. All my iTunes music was NOT able to be used! Why is that?? Will I be able to use any of my purchased music to make music videos on my PC???

Because of the "terms of use" of these forums, I'm not allowed to say anything else. Sorry.
The only thing I can add is make sure you purchase the iTunes plus files which are not protected & can be used in whatever manner you need. Also, amazon.com is now selling unprotected mp3 files, so you might consider them for your purchases.

Do I get charged for using Itunes player or just for downloads?

Hi,
I never used Itunes before. I've downloaded the player, completed all my details - user name, email etc. But the question I have am I charged for using the Itunes player or just for the download originally?

Neither. The iTunes player is a free download, and there is no charge for using it.
You will only incur a charge if you make a purchase at the iTunes Store.

Trying to move my iTunes Music and other media from the main drive on my pc to an external hard drive but iTunes is not recognizing the new file location? Ideas?

Hello there, Underwriter.
The following Knowledge Base article provides in-depth instructions on how to migrate your content to an external drive:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
Particularly of note for your situation:
External drive
This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
Notes before you start:
You can use most iPods as an external drive.
Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC. See iPod: How to determine iPod's hard disk format if you're not sure how your iPod is formatted.
Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

If you are getting emails from these forums then you probably accidentally clicked on one of the links on the forums page where all the questions are listed e.g. at the top right of each forum's page there is text box with Actions and Notifications in :
So far you've posted in the iTunes Store forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store#/
And the Using iPad forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad#/
If on either of those forums that box says 'stop email notifications' instead of 'receive' then click on it and it should stop that forum sending emails to you.

HT1296 My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again?

My drive failed on my iMac and I had to get a new drive but now my iTunes music is gone including all the CD's I added to iTunes, and all of my custom Playlists. All of that stuff is still on my iPhone 4, but how do I get it all onto my iMac again? I have CD's on my phone that i no longer have the physical copies of so i can't just re-download them all, plus it would take forever! I just want to know if there is a way to get all of what is still on my phone, back over to my iMac with it's new drive and restore my full iTunes library to the iMac with playlists, CD downloaded music, and my iTunes bought stuff, so i can go back to synching the 2 devices without losing everything that's on my phone that used to be on both devices?

Using iTunes to sync photos, ipad gets the frames but no image in them.

When I use iTunes to sync photos or faces, the iPad shows the frames only, but no images.

@Alan
I have copied the photos under MyPictures on my PC.
Basically it is the same, only that the limit above which iTunes is making nonsense is higher:
- using the MyPictures folder on the PC, I can sync 500 photos from 12 folders in one block and eveything is fine.
- using the external drive, I can sync only about 100 photos from 2 to 3 folders in one block or shot as you prefer
BUT, and that is the problem, BUT in both cases, going above (in terms of # of photos and folders) leads to random outputs:
- either I get a list of empty folders on the iPad with the message it failed to finish the sync
- or all photos are copied but then are mixed up within different folders in which case (I do not even get an error message). With mixed up I mean the following: a portion of the photos from PC:folder1 let's say 10) are copied to iPad:Folder8 that already contains the photos of PC:folder8 and iPad:folder1 does not contain these 10 photos, so iPad:folder1 is smaller as the original PC:folder1 and iPad:folder8 is bigger as PC:folder8
- or I get an error message within the copying process (-1401,-50, -1303)
The difference in behaviour is the size that can be copied in one shot to the iPad: bigger from the PC as from the hard disk drive attached to the PC.
Does this means that the speed at which it can copy makes the difference? This would be poor especially while thinking of iCloud Sync where the connection speed can be rather slow (for thousands of reasons).

I just purchased a movie from the iTunes store using iTunes ver. 11.0. The movie downloaded correctly is there on my hard drive but does appear in the iTunes library. How do I get it to appear in the iTunes Movie Library?

Try Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/), it's good and free

I am looking to upgrade to a new iPhone. Is it possible to then disable the phone capabilities of my old phone so I can give it to my teen for use as an iTouch? or does the old iPhone just become unusable which would be such a waste.
