How to remove fairplay from old purchased songs?

Hello there!!
As you know Apple removed DRM (Fairplay) from their songs some years ago. Is there anyway to remove Fairplay from songs bought before Apple removed the DRM? Or is possible to re-purchase without any kind of cost this old songs without Fairplay?
Kind regards!!!

First of all, thank you for taking the time to answer my inquire.
I was wondering that, but i supposed that Apple could has a procedure to manage this kind of situations taking in consideration that they removed the DRM only months after i purchased those songs.
Cheers!

I change my itunes account from UK to China as I goes back to China, how can I download my old purchased song in UK account?

Hi,
I used to live in UK and purchased many songs from Itune. Now I am moving back to China and bought a new device.
After I change my itune acc to China, I cant access my old purchase. Can you give me some advice on how to download the old songs?

You need to change back to UK account. All purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used.
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > sign out and sign in your UK Apple ID

How can i remove all of the purchased songs from my phone?

I want to remove all of the purchased songs from my phone, but I'm not having any success. I've transferred the purchases to iTunes, and turned off the cloud on my phone, but they are still there. They will not let me delete them...

OK, maybe time to get extreme. I've had similar experiences, sometimes occurring after making direct-to-device purchases and sometimes after doing an iOS update. In the two times I've experienced what you've seen I've fixed it by digging deeper, bear with me:
If your iPhone is not set for manual management, do so. (i.e. select "Manually manage music and video")
While connected to iTunes, navigate the contents of the iPhone. Select all songs and delete them. Ignore the gray ones if still present.
Eject the iPhone and go to Settings/ General/ Usage/ Manage Storage. Let the list populate then select the Music category. In the next screen, swipe across "All Songs" from right to left and tap Delete.
Connect back to iTunes, perform a backup, then restore the iPhone and reload the backup.
Your iPhone should now have its settings, accounts, and apps back, but no music -- not even the "ghost" entries. Add the music back that you want, either via manually dragging and dropping from iTunes, or auto-syncing all or a portion of your library.
Some people reported luck with just step #3. The problem I've had with that, is any music that I want remaining on the iPhone gets corrupted, such that playback will skip and/or show the wrong artwork. By deleting all music first, then following up with a restore, that seems to clear the problem. Personally I avoid direct-to-device purchases since I've had spooky occurrences almost every time where the purchases are very difficult to remove.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
(I want to delete all free apps and Books from my purchases.)
please help me
thank you.

There is no way to do it. Others have asked for the very same thing that you are asking for, but currently it just cannot be done. You can't remover purchases from your Purchase History - you can hide them - but you can't delete them from the history.
You can delete the Apps from the iPad and you can delete them from iTunes on the computer. Delete them from iPad, delete them fromiTunes so that when you sync there is no chance that they will come back. Then hide the purchases. That's the best that you can do.
On the iPad, tap and hold down on the app icons until the X pops up. Tap the X to delete the apps.
In iTunes, clcik on Apps under the Library heading on the left. Right click on the apps that you want to delete and follow the prompts.

HT4009 My daughter made a $49.99 in-app purchase of 1400 gems for Home Design Story. She says she does not know how she purchased it. Is there anyway to remove that from my purchases?

Apple allows apps to list themselves as "Free" if the initial download is free, even if the app has kid-oriented inducements for costly in-app purchases. The in-app purchases are almost always ridiculous, over-priced game accessories, of which your example of "1400 gems for $49.99" is right up there. It is way too caveat emptor for my taste, but each consumer can form their own opinion on that.
To Apple's credit, they have a good record of granting refunds providing you explain the extenuating circumstances (purchase by a minor) and only ask once. Contact iTunes Customer Service.
As roaminggnome notes, you need to place restrictions on the devices. The restrictions are off by default, so you need to take action to do this. See this document: iOS: Understanding Restrictions

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

You only get one download. It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

I have tried that as well. The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there. I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
I only sync playlists and they aren't on there.

Old Purchased Songs?????

Hi, I got a new computer and now I dont have my old purchased songs that I got ages ago, How do I get them back on my new computer.
Thanks

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

HT1209 how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch

how to transfer music from old iPod nano to new iPod touch ?

The 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library (not "account") at a time. Your Apple ID and password does not matter. (Later shuffles can be used with more than one iTunes library, IF it is set to use the Manually manage music option.)
So, if you sync it with a different iTunes library, the previous content will be replaced. You need to offload the existing content to your new computer's drive as the first step.
You cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to the iTunes library. After confirming all of your songs are there, sync your shuffle with that iTunes library.

I've lost my iPod so bought a new one and now I can't transfer my old purchased songs

I've purchased my new iPod and it won't let me move my old purchased songs from my iTunes to my new iPod. Is there anyway of getting around this or will I have to repurchase them? Thank you

If when you connect the iPod to your computer iTunes does not see the iPod then to get data off the iPod you need to go to a Data Recovery company. Not cheap.
However,
- If they are in an iPod backup (those in the iPod's Saved Photos/Camera Roll album are) then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
