It doesn't actually  "remove" anything.  But it does allow you to delete the DRM versions and download non-DRM versions, if available.
Go to this document, and read the section on "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?":

  • How to remove Unicode from XML file

    I get following error when unmarshal xml:
    [java] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x15) was found in the element content of the document.
    Anyone know how to remove Unicode from xml file? Can I remove the unicode by rebuild the file?
    Thanks

    These sort of error usually occur when you're using a different character encoding to read the file than the one you wrote it with. Perhaps if you were to post the problem section of the file and/or the code that created it in the first place.

  • Removing DRM from existing purchases

    Hi all,
    I love iTunes, but could never stand the DRM that came bundled with purchases. Now DRM's been removed from music I'm loving it again. I've made half a dozen purchases already today and I'm delighted with how easily my existing MP3 software was able to convert the M4A files to MP3.
    One question though, is there a way within iTunes to either re-download past purchases, or to remove DRM from purchases made before Apple stopped including DRM with music?
    Thanks.
    Lex.

    Access the iTunes plus upgrade screen from either the right hand top in the store in the upper box or by clicking on the iTunes plus advert in the middle of the store screen near the free download screen.
    If you have none of these links it may mean that none of your past purchases is currently available. The entire store will not be DRM free until near April, currently only close to 8 Million tracks are available, though I think new are still be added daily.

  • How to remove text from .swf animation?

    how to remove text from .swf animation? Can no find this text
    in fla file. Flash 8.

    exactly what 'text' are you referring to? text that you typed
    on the Stage using the 'textTool'? simply select the text with the
    'arrowTool' and hit delete.
    If you are referring to a textField that you want to
    eliminate after a certain amount of time, within your animation
    sequence. first copy the text, create a new layer, paste the text
    in place, then where you want to have the text 'disappear' insert a
    'blank keyframe' at that point in the text layer.
    OR place the textfield within a MC and remove it with code.
    OR if the text is dynamic and you wish to use the position at a
    later time, pass a value of null or and empty string to the field
    at the point you wish. And there are other ways still. :) hope one
    of these works for you.

  • How to remove songs from iPad?

    I've read several threds from users asking how to remove songs from the iPad 1.0, but have not found anyone with the symptoms mine has.
    For some unknown reason, the checkbox next to each song to remove them from the iPad is disabled.
    My latest attempt at removing all of the music was to tell iTunes to "Sync Music" with "Entire Music Library' selected.  That caused iTunes to push all 2700+ songs to the iPad.  I checked to see if I could remove the songs from the iPad by de-selecting the checkbox, but the checkbox was still disabled.
    So I told iTunes to stop syncing Music.  I acknowledged the warning message that this would remove all songs from the iPad.  Perfect - remove everything and I'll manually add the songs I want to put back on.  However, the results were not what was intended... I am back to where I started:
    When I open "Music" on my iPad, it shows lots of albums and songs (over 2700).
    When I view my iPad using iTunes, "Sync Music" is disabled and the capacity indicator shows 11.1GB of space allocated to audio files.
    When I view my iPad's Music folder using iTunes, it shows only 3 albums.
    At this point, I am thinking my only option is to wipe the iPad and manually add everything back on.  I'd rather not do that... but am out of options I can think of.

    I cannot delete music from my iPad2.  I've gone into iTunes and selected to manually manage my music.  When I click on my iPad and then MUSIC, I don't see any songs listed.  When I look at my iPad itself under usic there are a ton there.  I just want to keep my iPad free of music.  I don't need my music on my phone and my iPOD (yes, I still use an iPOD and I still like my music SEPARATE.)
    HELP
    Thanks.
    PS:  I'm using iTune 11.1.3.8

    The first time I synced my iphone 4 with my mac, I didn't realize that all of my photos from the iphoto library would transfer over to the phone (more than 3,000).   Now, I need to remove some, as they are taking up too much space.  I cannot figure out how to remove them from the phone.  I tried to uncheck boxes and sync again, but I get a message that there is no room on the iphone.  I've read as many articles as I can find, but still cannot manage this.  Thanks for any help.

    How to remove pics from my 3GS..???

    Photos taken with the phone can be deleted by selecting them and hitting the little wastebasket icon in the right bottom corner.
    Photos you did sync to your phone, can only be removed by deselecting them in the photo pane in iTunes, the following sync will remove them from the phone.

    Does anyone know how to remove vocals from an import from I tunes...a  polyphonic stereo mix ?
    If you are talking about some "Karaoke" method using Logic I'll try to offer one. Before that I must say that most of the Karaoke methods are based on reversing the Phase of one of the stereo channel and bussing or merging the stereo into Mono. The result is: killing all Pan Centered in the mix - like Main Vocal, Bass, Kick, SN ect.
    The artifacts of the Stereo FX of the main vocal will stay in the Karaoke, cause the FX is stereo etc.
    Here is the Logic Setup I can offer to try some Karaoke trick using Logic.
    1. Import a Stereo mix into a Logic Stereo track.
    2. Create another stereo track and duplicate (copy) the Original Mix region to the duplicated track.
    3. Hard Pan L/R both stereo tracks.
    4. Insert an EQ and Gainer plugins into the duplicated track (R).
    5. Set the Output select of the both tracks to a Bus and assign the new Aux Track Switch mode to "Mono".
    6. Open the Gainer plugin and thick the "Phase Invert" Right button.
    7. To keep the "lowend" instruments like the bass and kick, open the EQ plugin and enable the Low Cut filter and try some Hz settings 80-115, or different Q which will sounds better for your Karaoke.

  • Remove DRM from Independent Labels

    One way that Apple can show that it takes seriously the topics brought up in Steve Jobs's article, "Thoughts on Music", is to remove DRM from all material where the content producer did not specifically ask for it.
    There are many independent labels who wish their music to be as open as possible to a broader community. DRM gets between them and their customers.
    Please consider removing DRM from all content where the content producer did not request or require it.
    Thank you,
    Mike Shea

    It wont happen. Apple has DRM accross the board is to offer a consistant product. Lets face the facts that if 90% of all music is required DRM (shot in the dark) people who dont get the DRM thng (most customers) will be totaly lost if only a few songs have DRM and others dont. Apple stripping DRM from music that doesnt require them means very little to the Recording companies anyway.

    How to remove Seperator from check-in and profile check in pages
    The seperator is included on the checkin pages, which is present in the std_page with name "std_namevalue_separator", this is called by td_document_checkin_fields and std_document_file_fields.
    Defination of include:

    Please suggest if anyone have some idea, how to proceed.

    Without writing a component, you can put this code in the "side effects" box in the desired profile(s). This code removes the horizontal rule, and inserts a non breaking space in its place.
    <$setResourceInclude("std_namevalue_separator","<$if not isUploadFieldScript$>
    <tr>
    <td width=\"<$captionFieldWidth$>\"> </td>
    <td width=\"<$captionEntryWidth$>\"> </td>

  • How to remove myself from/leave a team?

    Hi
    I'm using Visual Studio Online in my software development classes. The problem is that the "Accounts list" on my Visual Studio Online portal is crowded with projects from past years. A clean-up is needed.
    I found this solution (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/80057697-38d7-4161-8564-13c630943484/vs-tfs-online-how-to-remove-myself-from-a-team-?forum=TFService), but the problem in order to apply it is that I have no more contact with
    a lot of those students + most of their accounts are expired.
    How can I solve this?
    Thanks in advance!

    PS: my apologies for any linguistic mistakes... English isn't my mother tongue.

    Hi Evert,
    Based on your description, seems you're the owner of the Visual Studio Online account. If you want to remove your account from the teams that expired, then you can delete the teams directly in team project administrative page of team web access.
    If you only want to remove your account from the teams, then you can click the team and remove your account in administrative page.
