HT1727 How do you upgrade previously purchased items to iTunes Plus from DRM

I can not find the instructions on screen in the iTunes Store to upgrade purchased songs from the DRM files to the iTunes Plus style.

Log into your iTunes Store account and look for an "iTunes Plus" link under the Quick Links:
Click that. If nothing appears, then the iTunes Store doesn't think you have any tracks that are eligible to be upgraded and you may have to buy the tracks again if you want them in the upgraded format, or sign up for ITunes Match which should upgrade all those tracks.
Regards.

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.

Don't forget, you get a limited number of burns of DRM music to CDs which then behave as usual.

How do you get previously purchased items to my iphone

So after iOS 5, I thought you were supposed to have the ability to download previous songs and tv shows onto my phone (no matter how long ago you bought them). I cannot do this. When I use the music application and go to purchased, it says I have nothing purchased? Does anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
Dan

You only get one download if audiobooks.
It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
Did you fail to do this?

We had to swap my sons ipod touch for a new one due to it being broken. I need to know how to reload the previous purchased items back onto the new one.

They should be on the computer. Just sync them as you did the last ipod.
If you failed to put them on the computer then redownload them using the instruction in the article your reference above.

When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?

These are a couple different issues
The purchase issue means they came from a different Apple ID
      You will need that Apple ID and password for those purchases
The iCloud account can be an Find My iPhone issue.
       That could be the same Apple ID as the purchased or yet another one.
              Once again you will need that Apple ID and password.

How do you transfer the purchased items in the ipad 2 ios 4.3.1 to iTunes

I have an ipad 2 with the IOS 4.3.1. I would like to transfer all my purchased items to itune before updating my IOS. How should I do?
Thanks

In order to prevent the loss of valued purchases from your iPhone or iPad, you may need to back up your important purchased items to somewhere safe, your computer or iTunes library, for example. You can transfer purchases manually before you sync your iPhone or iPad to iTunes.

How do i stop previously purchased items from downloading repeatedly?

My wife has an Intel Macbook. Whenever she opens iTunes it immediately starts to download her previous purchases, video and audio, equalling some 200+ files. I've tried allowing the files to download, then deleting them and stopping the downloads before they can seriously get going but no matter what I do they start downloading again either later in that session or the next time she starts iTunes. This has happened with the previous two or three versions of iTunes and continues with the current version.
These are all files she's seen/heard and has no intention of ever accessing again. Is there some way to permanently delete them so that we don't have to keep dealing with this issue?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

It turns out that this is not an uncommon problem. After a lot of searching on the net I came across these two solutions. In both you have to allow the entire song, video, etc. to download. Once the download is complete DO NOT sync your device, instead mark every one of the unwanted items as Read or Watched. Now sync your device (the files should not be copied to it) and go back to iTunes to see if the file is automatically deleted (as far as I know this only happens with podcasts). If the file is deleted your problem should be solved but if not select the file(s), hit Command + delete and choose the move to trash option for the file(s).
Restart iTunes and check to see if the same file is downloading again. If not, you should be okay but if it is then you're trying the second method.
Allow the file to download and do everything as in the first method except when it comes to deleting the file(s) navigate to your iTunes folder where the file is stored and physically delete it from there. Restart iTunes and see what happens.
I can't really speak for how well the second method works as the first method worked for me but I wanted to give both options in case it didn't work for someone else.

HT201272 I have previously purchase items that i bought from my iphone and they come up as purchased on itunes, but its not in my library ive connected my phone and its just not showing up or able to download from itunes?

Cant download previous purchases on my account. Bought them via my iphone, but when i try to sync it they dont come up and when i try to download them via my phone again it just doesnt work, and when i try to download them via a computer it just says purchased but they arn't in my itunes library?

What types of item that you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in (music, films and/or TV shows can't currently be re-downloaded in all). If they are still on your phone then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone. If other items of the same content type appear but those don't (and they are still in the store), then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

How do you import songs into a new iTunes library from a Touch?

I downloaded iTunes on a new PC laptop but, I'm unable to import the songs that are on the Touch, to the new iTunes library.
The songs that are on the Touch are all iTunes purchased songs and these songs are based in a iTunes library that is on the old laptop that no longer works. iTunes on the old laptop cannot be accessed and there was no cd-dvd back up done for this library.
When the Touch is connected to iTunes on the new laptop, the songs on the Touch do appear in a music folder under the device heading which is fine but, because these songs can't be imported into the new library, they cannot be backed up as far as I know.
Otherwise, everything regarding iTunes is working as it should be on the new laptop.
Since I'm dealing only with iTunes purchased songs, iTunes, and a Apple device, there must be some way of adding the songs from the Touch into the new library.
I've done a Google search about this and any of the suggestions I've tried, haven't worked.
The OS on the new laptop, is Windows 7.
If someone can offer some help on this, it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Your suggestions worked.
Had to do the authorize step first and then I was able to re-download the songs into the new library.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
So far as I am aware, books haven't been available for 6 years, so I'm wondering if you mean audiobooks.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded.

HT201272 How do you restore previously purchased apps in version ios 4.3.1?

I restored the iPad from backup via iTunes and got my bookmarks back but not my apps
I learned that as of 4.3.4 you can just go to the purchased button in the app store. But how to do this in 4.3.1?
Please help

Thank you, but that does not work in 4.3.1
Any other suggestions?
Of course it does not work with 4.3.1.
I showed you wher it says " iOS 4.3.3 or later,"
Do you not see that?
4.3.1 is NOT 4.3.3 or later

How do you remove the "purchased" items in the "not on this iPhone" tab in the app store icon?

I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone. These are apps that I tried and didn't like or didn't work or were useless or whatever. There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them. This is a waste of resources on the iPhone, iTunes and my efforts.

"I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone."
You cannot.
"There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them." it does not need to be logical to you for it to make sense.
It is a history of ALL purchases.
People would be complaining that they mistakenly deleted it and now could never get their app back. The entire point is to have access to any and all past purchases.
Maybe when the final product is released you will get your wish.
