How to repurchase music to get DRM-free versions

I have a few tracks which I bought from iTunes in the time when they were protected by DRM. I now want to change these to DRM-free versions, but can't find a way to do this. As there are only 7 tracks, iTunes match is not sensible as it costs more than the cost of the tracks themselves. I would be happy enough to re-purchase them, but can't find a way to do this.
I tried deleting one track from my iTunes library, but in the iTunes store it still showed in my purchases and not in the "not on my computer" list, so I was unable to buy it again. (I restored it later from my iPod.)
Is there any way to remove a track both from the library and purchase history, so that it can be purchased again?

NSH,
There used to be a program to upgrade individual tracks for 30 cents (USA) each, but it was discontinued in 2012.
So if you don't prefer Match, here are your options:
Burn to audio CD and rip back as MP3.
If you really want to re-buy, buy them from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music and add them to your iTunes library.

  • HT4914 I would like to get a DRM free version of my older iTunes songs. Is this possible?

    I would like to get a DRM free version of my older iunes songs. Is this possible?

    The only ways to do this now is either by subscribing to iTunes Match or by re-purchasing the tracks. You can, however, burn the protected tracks to audio CD which will work just like any other audio CD.
    Regards.

  • Why can't I tunes match provide drm free versions for purchased music?

    I bought Itunes match thinking that I was going to upgrade my entire library of purchased music from what was promised in their ads.   most of my music does not seem to be available in drm free versions.  is that normal?

    Hi,
    Most music can be upgraded with only a very small number not qualifying because the version of track is no longer available. Upgrading is not automatic. You need to delete the original and download upgraded version.

  • Convert Purchased DRM-Protected Songs to DRM-Free Versions

    Convert Purchased DRM-Protected Songs to DRM-Free Versions
    as per iTunes / Help / Usage rights for iTunes Store purchases:
    "All songs offered by the iTunes Store now come without DRM protection. These DRM-free songs, called iTunes Plus, have no usage restrictions and feature high-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding.
    If you have older iTunes Store purchases that are now available as iTunes Plus downloads, you may upgrade your existing purchases. To do so, visit the iTunes Store and follow the onscreen instructions."
    Looking at iTunes / Store / Purchased, which shows the list of songs that I have purchased, I do not see how I can tell if my older songs are with or without DRM protection.
    How do I identify what songs have DRM protection? I want to convert any purchased music, which have DRM protection, to newer DRM-free versions.
    Thank you.

    Yank,
    The upgrade program described in that document was discontinued  by Apple a few months ago.  Here are the options now:
    If you have a lot of tracks to upgrade, you can do it by subscribing to iTunes Match and following the instructions by which to delete your DRM copy and download the non-DRM matched copy.  See the section "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?" in this guide: iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    If you only have a few to upgrade, you can buy them singly.
    How do I identify what songs have DRM protection?
    In your library, use Songs view, and look at the "Kind" column for ones with the word "Protected." 
    If you do not see Kind, enable it by going to View > View Options.

  • My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

    My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

  • Why do cloud subscribers get Adobe Story Plus while CS6 owners only get the free version?

    After putting it off since its release, I finally decided to try Story.  I'm very happy with my existing screenwriting software but hey, there are these great integration benefits with the post production software I spend my life in so why not? 
    Well, I just found out those of us who purchased CS6 get the free version of Story while cloud subscribers get Plus.  Why?  This feels like I'm being penalized for having opted to upgrade from CS5.5 rather than switching over to the cloud.  I realize there's a $10 a month option to get Plus but dropping an extra $120 a year when I'm already happy with Movie Magic Screenwriter doesn't make financial sense to me.  The only reason I was going to try using Story was for the scheduling tools and the workflow integration but that integration should be part of the Production Premium Suite, not $120 extra per year.
    I upgraded to CS6 the day it was released so obviously I can't go back and switch to the cloud and I'm not spending $120 a year so I guess I wont use Story. 
    Very disappointing Adobe.

  • How do I find/upgrade to DRM free Music from EMI

    I just read that EMI and Apple have agree to sell DRM free music at a higher quality for $1.29. iTune purchased songs from EMI can also be upgraded to DRM free tracks at $0.30 each. The problem is where do I find them? I can't seem to find search EMI Records on iTune. Is there an easy and fast way to upgrade all my tracks from EMI?

    According to the original announcement the new downloads are scheduled for release sometime this month. If everything goes according to plan I would expect they should be available from the iTunes Stores in the next few weeks: Apple Unveils Higher Quality DRM-Free Music on the iTunes Store

  • How do I get a free version of iPhoto compatible with Mac OS 10.8.5?

    After upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.5, my previous version of iPhoto would not work. I have since trashed the non working version of iPhoto. The available free download versions of iPhoto will not work with Mac OS 10.8.5. How can I get a free download version of iPhoto compatible with 10.8.5 without purchasing a new copy??

    There is no free upgrade for Mountain Lion. The free upgrade is only for Mavericks.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

    Hi Jiss,
               You can also uncheck the "Allow Stock release without item cost" under company details--> basic initialisation and release such items in the marketing documents and also making a bom of such item would be better.

    The system (computer) requirements for Mavericks are posted on the web site. If your computer will handle it, you can update directly from OS X 10.7.

  • How can I TRANSFER material from the FREE version over to the PLUS version...?

    Ladies and Gentlemen,
    I started a project on your Adobe Story Free version, and recently acquired Story PLUS.
    How can I TRANSFER what I started on the FREE version over to the PLUS version...?
    Thank-you,
    David

    You can export the documents in that project to '.stdoc' format and then import it into your plus account.
    So the steps would be :
    - log into story with your free account
    - Go to that project and open a document
    - Choose 'Save To Disk' option from File menu. Save this file on your system
    - Now log into Story with your Plus account.
    - Click on Import button and select the file from the previous step.

  • How do I re-load/install my free version of Adobe Acrobat?

    I currently have an Adobe Acrobat Product Version 8 and have an account with Adobe.  How do I re-load/install my free Adobe Acrobat product again?

    Hi kurtm66064664,
    Are you referring to the free Adobe Reader (which doesn't offer the PDF editing capabilities that Adobe Acrobat does)? If so, you can download Reader from here: Adobe Reader Install for all versions.
    If you wanted to try Acrobat XI, you can download a free 30-day trial from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
    Best,

  • Adobe Reader - how to add page numbers with the free version?

    Hey guys,
    Imagine I've got a PDF file and I want to create a new one by selecting some pages out of it. I know this is simply possible by using the PDFcreator but I want to add page numbers. As far as I know this is not possible with the free version of Adobe unless I would add the page number on every single page by using a text box. I want to make different catalogs from the PDF so the page numbers are really necessary. Have you got any idea how to solve that issue? You know that's pretty much the only thing I need to add which means it's not worth buying the Pro version. Unfortunately I only got the PDF and I can't work on it e.g. with MS word before I export it. Do you know if there is a way to add page numbers with a free version? There might be an additional free software which allows that?
    Thanks for your support! 

    Thanks for your quick replies.
    I know how to add text page by page. But obviously it's hard to place the numbers on the very same position, is it?
