How do I update the protected AAC file to my new user id (w/ email)

I have a bunch of protected AAC song files with my origional user name, pre email that I bought from itunes.  When I am signed in with current email user name, and try to play the song it asks me to log in with the origional id which no longer existss because its now a email address.  When I delete the files and try and redownload them under match they don't show up either.  What to do?

Hi,
You need to authorise those tracks using your old Apple ID and password i.e. the one you used when you purchased those tracks

    How to encode music to Protected AAC file?

    Hi, 微雨轻韩.
    That is not an option with iTunes.
    Only files purchased from the iTunes Store are protected by Fairplay. Apple doesn't license its use for anything else.

  • How can I move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder?

    I am using a syncing program to keep cookie exceptions on multiple computers all equivalent. Unfortunately this is causing a problem because places.sqlite changes frequently and cannot be synced while FF is running. So I want to move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder so I can only sync that one folder. Is there a way to specify the location of this file?

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

    I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
    Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
    Best regards
    Jonas

    In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
    ) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
    See:
    *http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
    You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • How can i disable the registration pop up when a new user logs in each time?

    i work at a University and i install FCE 4, it launches and it comes to a registration screen.
    how can i get that registration screen to go away so that when new users log into the Mac
    they wont get that registration screen pop up?
    any help would be great.

    The registration screen should only appear after every 5 launches.
    If you register FCE it will no longer appear assuming it is on the same computer.

  • HT3702 I lost my credit card and got a new one so how do i update the card on file

    I lost my credit card  and need to change it on my account , how do i do this

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iPad then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > Store and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

  • Help!!! - Protected AAC files do not play on any of my iPods

    Since ten days ago both my iPods (Video 60GB and Photo 40GB) are not capable anymore to play iTMS purchased music. The music plays fine on iTunes (Windows, last version), is correctly copied on both the iPods (both updated to the last version of iPod software) but when I try to play any of the Protected AAC file kind the iPods just shows the Cover and skips to the next songs.
    The bad thing is that is happening on any Protected AAC file i try to play on any of the iPods and we are talking about 527 songs, for a total more than 500 euros. THAT'S BAD!!!
    I've tryed everything, re-flashed the iPods with the last iPod Updater (any hint on where to find the 2005 version?), reinstalled iTunes on both the PCs I've at home, deauthorized and re-authorized the iTMS account, deleted all the music from the iPod and loaded back again, no light at all...
    I've contacted the iTMS support, they have deauthorized all my PCs, I've authorized them back but nothing. After four email they passed me to the Tech iPod support.
    I've called them, on the Video I've also the AppleCare, we tryed everything, also formatting the iPod via the Operating System, but no luck.
    At the end they have said that is a problem with the FairPlay authorization and brought me back to the iTMS support.
    I wrote them again, explaining all the situation and giving them the SR number and this is what I got as an answer:
    "have escalated the issue you reported, and you will receive an email message once we have a resolution. Thank you for your patience as we work to make your experience with the iTunes Music Store more enjoyable."
    No timeline, no explanation at all.
    Obviusly all the other functionalities of the iPods are working fine and all the Protected AAC files plays fine on iTunes, but nothing on the iPods.
    I've also tryed to buy a couple on new songs from iTunes but also these do not play on any of the iPods.
    From the tech support side, seems I'm the only one to have this problem in the world. From my point of view this could be a FairPlay keys problem but the result is that I cannot play any of the music I've bought.
    Does anybody had this kind of problem or some hints to save the day?
    One bottle of italian wine (Brunello di Montalcino, very fine red wine) to who finds a solution.

    Nobody replyed to my message but I think that knowing the solution can be helpful for someone in the future.
    I've made some extensive testing.
    To me the problem has appeared when I've update both the iPod to the last iPod software version, 1.1.1 for the Video and 1.2.1 for the Photo.
    At that time I was using the iTunes for Windows version 6.0.4
    Thanks to the hint of a user on the iLounge forum (www.ilounge.com), the problem was related to the versions combination between iTunes for Windows and the iPod Software.
    Today I've tried all the version of iTunes form the 6.0.0 to the 6.0.4 (thanks to File Hippo) and the only one that works is the 6.0.0
    The problem seems solved on both the iPods, obviously I've notified Apple of the temporary solution and I really hope that someone will take care of this one.

  • Is their any possible way ot un-protect protected AAC files

    I download all my music from iTunes Music Store. Recently i bought an XBOX 360 and i would like to play my music on the XBOX 360 but according to their website you can play AAC files but not protected AAC files. I have no idea how to change the Protected AAC files to any other file so that i can play it on my XBOX 360. I am willing to try just about anything so if you have any idea please let me know what to do.

    Colby, the only thing you can do is to burn your purchases to audio CD's. Those audio CD's will act like any CD bought at the store.

  • Cannot play Protected AAC files on my iPhone 5

    I purchased a new iPhone 5 and have synced my music to it. However any purchased AAC files that are in iTunes will not play on my iPhone. They show up and when I try to play it will just skip to the next song it can play that is not the protected AAC file format. Purchased AAC files play fine. It is the Protected AAC which you find in the "kind" column. The new iPhone 5 is obviously running iOS 6.
    I have an iPad 2 that is also running iOS 6 and it plays those Protected AAC files just fine.
    Does this have something to do with the iPhone is not authorized? I had an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I upgraded from. I sold the iPhone 4 so when I did I went into my account in iTunes and managed devices and removed the iPhone 4. I set up the iPhone 5 and put in my Apple ID, shouldn't it automatically authorize the phone to play these purchased songs? One interesting thing is if I look at my managed devices now in iTunes it says an iPhone 4S is associated with my apple ID. I've never had a 4S and the date it says the 4S was associated is the date I got my iPhone 5.
    How can I play these files on my iPhone 5?

    I'm having the exact problem with a track purchase on iTunes.  Works fine on my 3rd gen iPad, but recently was dropped from my iPod touch (pre and post IOS 6).

  • How do I find the aperture image files so that I can attach them to an email

    How do I find the aperture image files? I know that you can email images from aperture. But how would I attach an image using Mail?

    if you mean to go into the Aperture library in order to get image files to print with Canon's software it's not really possible. The best you would be able to do would be to get the master image and if you're shooting RAW that will be the RAW file. In any case no adjustments you made to the image in Aperture would be available, versions don't exist as files until you export them.
    If you want to print with the Canon software you would export the image from Aperture and then print that image file.
    If I've misunderstood your question post back,

  • How to upgrade protected AAC files to iTunes Plus (DRM-free)?

    Hi everyone.  I have been purchasing music from the iTunes Music Store ever since it opened here in the US.  Along the way I have purchased both protected AAC files (the original 128 kbps files), iTunes Plus files, and I've upgraded some of the protected to iTunes Plus files for $0.30 over the last few years.  I now have approximately 900 "protected AAC files" left that I wanted to upgrade to iTunes Plus and see the only way to do that now is via iTunes Match.
    My dilema is this... I have approximately 900+ files that I want to upgrade and don't feel like manually deleting every track, finding it in the iTunes Music Store, and then redownloading (in the iTunes Plus format).  Is there a way to do all 900+ at one time?
    Thank you,
    Keith

    First you need to enable the iCloud Status, Bit Rate and Kind columns so you can see which tracks are "matched" and which are "uploaded." Any tracks that are "uploaded" will not be upgraded. To enable these columns switch to Song view then pull down View > View Options and select the appropriate check boxes then close the small window. Once this is done you can see the tracks that are protected and matched. These tracks can then be deleted from the iTunes library and the HDD (but make sure you have them backed up first, just in case) then downloaded from the cloud. They will then be DRM-free 256 Kbps AAC files.
    As Jim points out you will not get a 100% match rate. The process simply isn't that good.

  • All protected AAC files (older purchases) stop playing after a handful of seconds following iTunes update

    So I just noticed that after upgrading iTunes to v10.6.1(7) every single older protected AAC files QUITS playing after a certain number of seconds.  The exact time interval depends on the album, but without fail, they all quit.  I recently upgraded to lion after a fresh install of snow leopard.  I had backed up the iTunes music folder on an external hard drive and imported to library after installing lion.  Very, very frustrating...

    I seen this a few times.
    Do a test, delete one of those files/albums. Then re-download it from iTunes in the Cloud.
    I bet you the new DL will work.  If this solves it, then just remove the other older songs/albums, and then re-dl them from iTunes Store.
