How do I know if the file I want to buy on the iTunes Store is "protected" or not?

I'd like to buy some music, but I want to make sure I can copy it to a regular MP3 player. Any ideas?

The iTunes Store hasn't sold protected music in a couple of years. Keep in mind that the iRunes store sells .aac files, not .mp3 files. Check to make sure that your player can handle them.

    Hi gmoll5,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you have updated to iTunes 11, click on View > Show Sidebar
    Then, select your playlist and choose File > Print
    You will have the option to print a jewel case like you did before

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here, we won't know why.
    What happens when you try to buy something, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
    If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

    I bought 20 new songs in the ITunes store but they are not in my IPOD after synching?

    I'm having this same problem and can't find a solution that works in the apple support community. What's frustrating is that this used to work seamlessly with Windows. Then I bought a macbook pro and upgraded to OS X Mavericks and a lot of stuff broke.
    I'll call apple in the morning.

    You've checked the purchase history on your account (Store > View My Account on your computer's iTunes) and nobody else has access to your account ? If you don't recognise the charges then contact iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Hey there Hannuj,
    It sounds like you are unable to access the iTunes Store in the iTunes application. Based on the error message I would try the steps in the article here named:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes Store connection troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1527
    Remove pop-up blockers
    Some pop-up or ad-blocking programs may interfere with the ability of iTunes to connect to the iTunes Store. Removing them in many cases will resolve the issue.
    Flush DNS Setting in Windows
    In some cases, the DNS information you computer uses to connect to the Internet needs to be reset. Follow these instructions to flush your Windows DNS information:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and chooseRun as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, clickContinue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Note: If, in the command prompt, you see this message: "The requested operation requires elevation", close the command prompt and repeat steps 1 and 2 above to be sure that Administrator privileges are used to access to Command Prompt.

  • How do I get past the iTunes Store registration?

    At this time I do not want to register for the iTune Store. However, when I connect my iPod Nano I can't get past the Store requirements for registration. I have already registered my iPod.
    Pressing "Not now" and "Skip this step" are ignored.
    I just want to manage my music via iTunes but I am being prevented from doing this.
    I have never made any purchases from iTunes Store.
    Grateful for any help.
    John Slane

    I think I may have "solved" the problem myself -- or at least have got a work-around.
    Before plugging in the iPod, disconnect yourself from the internet. Then the management of the iPod menu, playlists and whatever can proceed via iTunes without stupid and unwarranted interference from the iTunes Store!
    What really hacked me off was the requirement from iStore that I give them my credit card number before I was allowed to complete the "registration" process. That I wasn't prepared to do, and why should I have to?

  • How to "Get Info" in the iTunes Store

    In the usual part of the iTunes Store, you cannot "Get Info" about media, but there is another section where you can. First, find out the item's Genre or Category.
    If it is Music, find out the Artist and Album.
    If it is an Audiobook, find out the Author/Narrator.
    If it is a Music Video, find out the Artist.
    If it is a TV episode, find out the TV Show and the Season.
    Go to the iTunes Store. Scroll to bottom. There are 4 columns. Under the 2nd column, Features, choose Browse. Choose the media type (Movie, Music, etc). Choose the Genre or Category. Next:
    if Music:
    Choose All for a Subgenre. Choose the Artist. Choose the Album. Right-click on the desired song, and choose "Get Info."
    if Movie or App:
    Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Audiobook:
    Choose the Author/Narrator. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Music Video:
    Choose the Artist. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if Podcast:
    Choose All for a Subcategory. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."
    if TV show:
    Choose the TV Show. Choose the Season. Right-Click the desired item, and choose "Get Info."

    One stated to "search cmd, right click, and run as admininstrator" but where is this?
    In the search field in your Vista start menu, type cmd
    Next, right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
