How to upgrade individual songs to iTunes Plus?

How can I upgrade individual songs to Plus? I only see how to upgrade my entire library.

I agree on wanting the option to upgrade individual songs.
My iTunes Plus has over 800 songs for a whopping $247!!! Not going to happen ANYTIME soon to drop that much at once to upgrade the entire library.
I applaud Apple for getting this done and offering it to us, but next time I recommend testing it OUTSIDE corporate offices.
Hopefully a solution will come through soon.

  • Unable to upgrade some songs to iTunes plus

    Hello -
    I've seen some other discussions on this topic so I guess it's not an uncommon problem, but I wanted to ask about it anyway in case there are new insights about how to fix it!
    I have about 75 old "Protected AAC" songs - 128 bps DRM-protected songs that I purchased before the iTunes Plus era - and I would like to upgrade at least some of them to iTunes Plus (not necessarily all - in some cases I've subsequently bought the CD, or am no longer interested in the song).   When I sign in to the iTunes Store and go to the 'Upgrade to iTunes Plus' section, however, only 40 of the songs are listed (35 are not).   I've verified that in almost all cases, these songs/albums are still available in iTunes - I think perhaps one or two are no longer available, so I can understand why upgrades are not allowed there, but in the vast majority of cases I don't understand why I can't upgrade. 
    What's really strange is that there are some albums where some songs are available for upgrade and not others.  To give a specific example, I purchased 7 songs (all "protected AAC") from the album Travelogue by The Human League (only the 7 bonus tracks, since I have the original album).   Now, 4 of these are available for upgrade to iTunes Plus and 3 are not, even though the whole album (including all 7 songs) are still sold through iTunes.
    I tried contacting iTunes support and had an e-mail exchange which was slightly helpful but not entirely;  they would never really answer the question and eventually just started repeating the same set of stock paragraphs, leading me to believe that the responses were selected from a menu and were not actually coming from a person trying to solve the problem (maybe I'm wrong about that, I don't know).   Here are the sorts of answers I got:
    "The record company remove and then replace some of the songs for their produced albums on the iTunes Store at any time. Since the songs are modified you are not able to see them in the iTunes upgrade page.:
    or
    "The record company remove and then replace some of the songs for their produced albums on the iTunes Store at any time. Since the mentioned songs have been removed and then fresh copy has been posted you are not able to see them in the iTunes upgrade page."
    However, even if the songs have been removed or replaced, I really don't understand why some songs on a given album can be upgraded and others can't!
    iTunes Support did kindly credit my account for 5 songs, but in practice I'd like to upgrade about 20.
    Has anyone had success working around this problem, or do you know a route to getting iTunes Support to do more?   Or should I just give up and re-purchase the songs I can't upgrade?
    Thanks!

    Thanks very much....makes sense, but some songs I have used in the past no longer work, so something has changed I guess. 

  • Unable to upgrade certain songs to iTunes Plus

    When I go to the iTunes Plus section it shows me a few songs and albums which I can upgrade but when I try to upgrade/buy I get a message that reads: "The item you tried to buy is no longer available" So what do I do?

    Yep now iTunes Plus is missing for me as well. I did manage to contact iTunes Support and this is what they replied with:-
    +From time to time, the iTunes Store updates the items in the catalog to ensure the highest possible quality for our customers. It's possible that "Talvin Singh Ha" is being updated and is therefore temporarily unavailable. Please try again in 72 hours. If you still are unable to purchase it, please let me know.+
    +I hope you continue to enjoy the iTunes Store, and thank you for being a loyal customer.+
    But of course now there is no iTunes Plus so no option to buy anyway.

    Linda,
    Apple formerly ran a program that allowed you to replace DRM songs with non-DRM versions for 30 cents apiece.  That program was discontinued by Apple last year. 
    You can still upgrade now, but it requires subscribing to iTunes Match and following the instructions by which to delete your DRM copy and download the non-DRM (iTunes Plus) 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)

    How can i buy songs off itunes that you can't get on the Canadian version but you can in the u.k. version
    I would really like to get these songs (not illegally like most people) because i really like them but they are only in the U.K. or Irish version of iTunes and I'm on the Canadian version
    If anyone can tell me how i could possibly get these that would be great thanks

    OS X is the same no matter where you buy it.  You can switch it to Japanese or one of 30 other languages in few seconds via the system preferences.
    If you want a Japanese keyboard as well, you can select that when you configure your purchase:

  • How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD?

    How do I delete songs from Itunes without losing them in my IPOD? I don't want 11gb of music stored on my computer when I already have it in my Ipod. Anyone have some info?

    You can Transfer music manually, then delete the files from the PC without having it sync to the iPod.
    HOWEVER.....
    Deleting songs off of iTunes or your computer is a very bad idea unless you have created one or more backup files of all your songs.
    Using the iPod as the sole repository of any of your songs is a very risky practice. When (not ‘if’) you need to restore the iPod, return the iPod for service, or it's song files are somehow lost or damaged, you will be re-ripping all your CDs back into iTunes and re-purchasing all your iTMS songs. Restoring the iPod is a common ‘fix’ to many small issues that arise.
    If you cannot store your songs on a PC or within iTunes, then you will need to have some storage medium in use (an external hard drive, DVDs or CDs). You should also consider a secondary backup medium for additional safety. Whether you keep your music in iTunes or on an external source – Multiple copies of your music files are a must!
    The iPod is really designed to be playback device - not a primary storage device (although it can be used as such), and certainly not as the only storage medium for all your music.
    Always backup your PC files: both music and data. Backup as frequently as possible. The usual ‘metric’ is to determine just how much work (hours, days, weeks) or money spent you are willing to repeat by extending out your time between backups. Your choice, your potential headache &/or loss.
    Many data-savvy folks have more than one backup and create incremental backups every time they add to or change their Library. Depending on the work I am doing, I may perform several backups during the same day. As they are incremental, and placed on my Backup ExHD – it is a very quick operation to perform several times a day, when needed.
    If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), then:
    it is critical that you also make multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
    iTMS REMINDER: While you can always take the time to re-rip the CDs you own to restore your iTunes music, if you lose your iTMS purchased music and have no backups, you will have to re-purchase them. Few exceptions are made to this rule – at least none that I am aware of.
    Here is a post on developing a backup strategy:

    Hi ckuan,
    Thanks for the tip. I have tried this however, when I select the Sync music box, it wants to remove all of the music that is currently on my iphone. I do not want to do this. What happened to the old "select and drag" option? That was so much easier! I would like to add new music without removing the music that is currently on the iphone.
