How does Apple collect its music ?

Hi ... I am curious to know how does Apple collect music into their iTunes store ? Because I notice there is many songs which Apple doesn't have . I have many ( MP3 )p2p share songs which I care to purchase legally but can't seem to find them on the net or in iTunes

Hi Niel . So they must do this for every single song , correct ? Because I have notice some albums from certain Artist that Apple doesn't have but yet they do have some songs from these Artist . Can members request songs to Apple to try to get ? Thanks

  • How does Apple support its internationally based customers?

    I am living in Canada at the moment, but my credit card is with a Hong Kong bank.  Apple's "smart" system underpinning the iTunes store cannot cope, it seems. And, it seems impossible to find access to a real person to find a work around.  Does anyone know how to solve such a problem?  I think it may be a factor in why certain applications are not upgrading properly (and of course can't know for sure becuae Apple wants to charge for the conversation.
    Insights most welcome.

    Dahveed,
    Thanks, but not sufficient.  I am legal in more than one country (3 actually) and see no reason why I should have to open up credit cards everywhere when I have a perfectly valid card that I use internationally.
    This seems to be another example of "smart system convenience" that is markedly inconvenient for the customer.
    I appreciate your comment, but if Apple is not able to meet actual individual customer needs, there's a problem.

  • How does apple want me to create a DVD to play on my DVD player from iMovie? iDVD did not come with my iMac.

    I have created several home movies in imovie and am now ready to burn them to DVDs that family members can play on their DVD players. How am I supposed to do this? iDVD did not come with my imac. How does apple want us to do this? Thanks.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it, and how do I install it?
    Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. Some purchasers of new iMacs have reported that if you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone to Apple, they may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
    Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. As there is no satisfactory substitute for iDVD Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
    It is worth noting that the version of iDVD 7 included with iLife 11 only includes themes from iDVD 5-7. If you want all the older themes you should buy iLife 9, which has the same version of iDVD 7 but with all the themes, and none of the iDVD 7 updaters available from Apple Downloads contain them.
    Currently the only certain way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20751 4/Installer001.jpg
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-21006826-20748 0/Pacifist001.jpg
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    But even though you can still buy iLife 9 or 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    When you try to install iDVD you may see a notice come up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March 2012, because Apple have withdrawn the license to it can no longer be used.
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After installing iDVD reset the time back to the correct time on your Mac.
    You may be to use able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  Just click on the Continue button and it should work as expected, but for some it will not continue unless the date is  set back.
    Additional comments:
    Apple has clearly indicated in the newest iMacs, Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to phase out optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one but which is not universally compatible with all Macs.
    Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. but not all. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
    The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
    And if you think Microsoft are any better, their latest Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced:  http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
    In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.
    The latest anorexic iMacs do not even include a CD drive (or Firewire)! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of optical media - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • How does Apple decide 'what's hot' among iphone apps?

    How does Apple decide what to list in its "what's hot" section of the iphone application store? I assume there is some hard coded logic behind that phrase.

    Sorry, but Apple never discloses how they choose those sorts of features.

  • Do the Imac support Corel graphics software?  Or does Apple make its own graphics software?

    Does the Apple Imac support Corel Draw for graphics design?  Or does Apple provide its own graphics software package when making an Imac purchase?

    There are thousands of graphics apps available for OS X. A very quick look on Corel's web site showed Corel Draw is not available for OS X, probably another reason Corel is in sad financial shape. Apple does not include any graphics creation software when you buy an iMac what is included is OS X and the iLife suite of products.
    If you are interested in a substitute for Corel Draw then I'd recommend using Google to search for OS X alternatives, I'm sure you will not have a problem finding many suitable alternatives.

  • How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone?

    How does apple know what the fault is with my iphone when sending it to them on apple care. My sleep/ wake button seems to be stuck so I sent in for a repair on the website and they sent me a apple care box and said send it back but I Carnt remember if I told them the fault or do they know by the repair ID number?

  • How does Apple pay you if you sell your book?

    As many of you I'm thinking to set and sell a book through the apple Books store, so:
    I need an US tax ID, even if I'm not living in USA,
    and an ISBN.
    Then, suppose you sell some books.. How does Apple pay you? Do you have any options (i.e. Paypal, bank transfer..)?
    Thanks!

    Apple pays via electronic bank transfer to your designate bank once a month.

  • How does Apple ship via FedEx if FedEx doesn't support Macs?

    I just got off the phone with FedEx and they said that they don't support Macs...
    Which is weird since everything I've ever ordered from Apple has come FedEx.
    So how does Apple ship our via FedEx? Do they have custom software for label printer support, and if so is that available to Mac users?
    I'm guessing there aren't a bunch of PCs in the warehouse... well I hope not.

    Many operations are farmed out to consultants, 3rd party vendors, etc.
    I believe Ingram Micro does fullfillment/shipping, not Apple corporate directly.

  • How does Apple TV sort photos from Aperture?

    I have arranged a set of photos in Aperture in a Project. 
    When I go to show these on the Apple TV, they appear randomly and not in the order that I have them in the Aperture Project.
    How does Apple TV sort the photos that it reads from my Aperture project?
    If I understand how it handles this, I can adjust the metadata to insure it shows as I want.
    I look forward to hearing back from folks about how this works.
    Thanks.

    I figured it out.  It is by the date and time code on the picture. 

  • How Does iPad Update Its Clock?

    Your MBP updates time from a time server over the internet. The iPhone sets the time using the cell phone system. My AT&T iPhone is always 1 minute behind my MBP.
    I think that the iPad syncs time with iTunes or through the WiFi network. My iPad which syncs to my MBP and uses WiFi from an Apple AirPort Extreme has the same exact time as my MBP, down to the second (they switch minutes simultaneously). I might be wrong on this point, so if someone knows something more, I will stand corrected.

  • How Does Apple Determine What Posts Are Not Allowed to Remain?

    Apple has deleted 2 posts that, while not favorable to Leopard, do not seem to violate any of the rules. I noticed that not all posts are favorable (naturally) but remain posted. Does Apple just search for the poster's user name and remove on that basis? I'll try posting the same message under another user name and see if it get's deleted or not. I am assuming that this message will be deemed to violate Apple's policy and Apple will remove this post very quickly.

It does not seem like it should be but that's the fact scenarioc
    Yes. It has nothing to do with asking a specific technical question and asking for an answer.
    This is not the Daily Agony Column that Holmes likes to read. It's not what you "seem" to want for a message board post.
    The title here is Installation and Setup. I would ask a deeper question, however, which is why you would want to make such a post? To scare others? To make yourself "feel" better? What would be the point? You don't walk into a Post Office and start ranting about a letter you got from an Aunt who just cut you off in her will. I mean, you might, but why?
    The fact is that there are many posts here on these boards that are unfavorable towards Apple and Leopard and even Apple staff. But they contain enough "meat" that they are not deleted.
    Of the posts that I have seen vanish, most had nothing in them of any value. It's also interesting that many rants are from people who purportedly speak English but cannot spell simple words and know nothing about punctuation. In my holistic view of the world, I am not surprised that their computers crashed upon upgrading to Leopard. I keep repeating that it is all attention to details.
