How do I copy DVDs to itunes legally?

Is there a way to copy my DVDs to itunes and then to my ipod legally?
-thnx

If you have a license for NERO Burning ROM, they have a program called RECODE2 which can convert DVD movies to iPod compatible video. If not there is a free program that works on 99% of DVDs. It is called Videora. You can download it from their website for free
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
This web site has a step by step procedure to convert the DVD. It assumes that you are trying to convert a copy protected Hollywood video, but this will work for your DVD too.

For the 1% of DVDs that Videora has problems with the audio and video get out of sync, but this rarely happens.

    If you're talking about a commercial DVD and you're in the U.S. (and a number of other countries), you presume incorrectly. Commercial DVDs are encrypted and breaking that encryption is illegal. For non-encrypted DVDs, use Handbrake.

  • How do i copy music from iTunes to usb?

    how do i copy music from iTunes to a usb thumb drive?

    If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

    The process is called syncing and you can select to synch all of your music or only certain Artists, Albums, Playlists and Genres
    Select your device either from
    Top right by iTunes Store Button - new look iTunes11
    or
    In the lefthand panel - old look as per itunes 10
    Select the music page at the top
    Tick Sync Music
    If you have enough space on iPad to sync all your music select that or if not select music from selected playlists and select away.
    The Bar at the bottom will show how much space on your device you are taking up. When you have made your selections click Apply Bottom Right and Sync will Start.

  • Copy dvd to itunes

    Hi i just converted to mac and want to find out how to copy movies to my itunes library from dvd,is there a tutorial anywhere ?

    no it doesn't quicktime pro just lets you export and save files in .mov format
    go onto the handbrake website and see what they have to offer but you will have problems find answers on forums like this for doing dvd ripping as it is against the law and the T&C's for bid things like that as not to brake any legal agreements etc

  • How do I copy my entire iTunes library to a USB Flash Drive?!

    I'm trying to copy my iTunes Music Library to a Flash Drive, and having difficulties copying the entire library to the flash drive.
    Any help?!

    How big is the flash drive? How big is the iTunes folder? If there is enough room it should just be a case of copying the folder from <User's Music> to the flash drive.

  • How do I copy my entire iTunes library to a flash drive

    I am attempting to copy my itunes music to a flash drive by dragging and dropping the entire itunes folder to the flash drive, but it will not transfer.

    A few options...
    You could format that HDD as Fat32/MS-DOS, but you'd be limited to 4 GB Filesizes.

  • How can I copy albums from itunes to an SD card without splitting the tracks?

    I've tried putting albums onto an SD card from itunes on my Macbook Pro by dragging & dropping, but all the tracks have been split up. When I access the SD card the tracks are mixed up and not grouped together in albums.
    I've also tried to find my itunes files but unable to locate them using finder.
    Any help would be welcome.

    When you have albums in iTunes the songs are organized because iTunes is a database.  When you copy the albums/tracks to an SD card (or any other location) they are just files, there is no database keeping them in order.  So the order you see on the SD card is whatever sorting order you have the Finder set for (or other program if you are using it).
    The easiest way to ensure track files are in the desired order on a disk is to preface the track name with a sequence number ... so, for example, you rename Black Magic Woman as 01-Black Magic Woman, etc.
    The location of your iTunes Library is normally users/yourusername/Music/iTunes ... and your actual media files (albums & songs) are in a subfolder named iTunes Music

  • How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

    I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro.  My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone.  We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone.  I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
    She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup.  can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"?  I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa?  I really just want to put my music on there.
    I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
    Thanks

    Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
    Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.
