Itunes plus is overlooking numerous albums and sons for upgrade

I've been upgrading my music using iTunes plus. Unfortunately, iTunes is failing to offer me the upgrade option for several albums and miscellaneous songs -- despite the fact THAT THESE ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN THE ITUNES STORE.
I haven't changed accounts or anything.
Has anyone else had this problem and managed to get it solved by Apple? How?
If I have to rebuy these albums, it sure and heck won't be from Apple.
Thx.

Yes I have the exact same problem. While many songs show up in my "Upgrade to iTunes Plus" link on the iTunes Store, there are many many more that do not appear in this list. These are the exact same tracks, on the same album, and the same price point (bought for 0.99 and they are still 0.99) but they don't show up in the upgrade page.
Further to this: I think if the songs you originally purchased have changed price points (was 0.99 but now the price is 1.29) then the upgrade may not work.
Another annoying thing I noticed is that many of the upgrades that I did purchase are actually different versions of the tracks from a different album, even thought the original version of the track is there at the store on the same album at the same price point! Very frustrating.
Would love to hear if somebody knows why some tracks don't show up as available upgrades.

  • ITunes Plus   Old songs don't show up for upgrades

    I occasionally stumble across previously purchased songs, for example "Time of the Season" by the Zombies, which are now in the plus format. They don't show up in the "Upgrade My Library" area in the store.
    There are also lots of cases where old cuts have slightly different listings and don't match up to what's in my library.
    Is there anyway to get Apple to allow me to upgrade to the Plus versions of these songs?

    "Note that the track usually will have to be the exact same version"
    Ever since iTunes began, there have been problems where the person ripping the music isn't very accurate as to the MP3 tags, and later the titles themselves.
    For example (just making this one up) "Yellow Submarine", 3minutes, Beatles Yellow Submarine can change to "Yellow Submarine", 3 minutes, THE Beatles.... and then it won't show up as a match.
    You will find LOTS of these examples if you search on titles you bought more than a year ago, and even though the song is there, it will say "no longer available" just because someone typed the title differently.

  • When I import a commercial CD itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the other album by it self. How can I combine them all into one album and why is itunes doing this?

    When I import a commerical CD Itunes will create 2 identical albums and put all of the songs except one into one album and put the other song into the second album that it created.  Why is itunes doing this and what can I do to combine them into one album?

    I found this to be somewhat helpful: Grouping Tracks into Albums
    What I did was to put in the same name for Album Artist in every track.  That seemed to do the trick (previously all those fields were empty).  It seems like a lot of work for a simple thing.
    iTunes knows (or should know) that these tracks were imported from one CD. So why is it relying on incomplete data from the gracenote database?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes or iPhone forums.

  • I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?

    I bought CS5 Design Premium (Student and Teacher Edition) 3 years ago. Now I want to upgrade it but where can I find prices for Students and Teachers for upgrades?

    There are no upgrades for Student and Teacher Editions. You can continue to use the version you are using, or you can buy CS6 with no special upgrade price, or subscribe to Creative Cloud. However, I believe if you still qualify, you're offered a discount on Creative Cloud.

  • ITunes plus label on the album, but then disappears....

    I recently went to purchase "leaves in the river" by Sea Wolf, and under the album logo it said it was an iTunes plus cd. When I click on the album and get the details of the album, it no longer says that it is an iTunes plus album, nor is there the plus symbol by all of the songs.
    Even more confusing, I bought the single first to see whether I liked the music or not, and the same day I decided to buy the album. iTunes then told me I had to update all my other music to iTunes plus before I can buy this iTunes plus album. How did the single download as protected? I resolved it with iTunes, and I can now go buy the whole album, but I would like to get it as iTunes plus.
    Any suggestions? I tried contacting iTunes help, but they have done nothing other than credit my account 99 cents....
    Thanks for your help!

    Did you make this purchase on an iPad or a Mac?  If purchased on iPad have you attempted to complete album from the iPad iTunes store or the Mac iTunes store?
    Regards,

  • Cannot upgrade to iTunes plus or Complete My Album

    Every time I try to upgrade to iTunes Plus or try to Complete My Album iTunes does not accept my password. I enter my password and the login box comes up again with the password feild is empty. It sometimes states that I've incorrectly input the password. It accepts my password for all other purchases. Does anyone know why and a solution to the problem?

    I think I solved this for me. I had Netbarrier set to enable "Information Hiding" when I first had this problem. Unchecking that setting solved the problem.

  • ITunes Plus music available, but won't appear in upgrade list

    Hi,
    I have a whole bunch of DRM music left after I did the iTunes upgrade. Many of the songs and albums left are indeed available as iTunes Plus when purchased outright from the store, but I'm not offered upgrade for them.
    Ex. Annie Lennox - Songs of Mass Destruction. I bought the entire album originally DRM'd from the iTunes Store. It is available as Plus as both an entire album and as individual songs, yet I cannot upgrade my copy because I'm not offered it on the upgrade list.
    -Is there a way to let Apple know so they can add it to my upgrade list?
    - Will I automatically get upgraded and get the upgrade price if I just try to buy the music again and I have it DRM'd in my iTunes?
    Thanks,
    Bob A.

  • ITunes is not updating file names and locations since upgrading to 10.2.2.12

    It saves the changes I make to the metadata, but the filenames themselves and the actual locations of the files are not changing.
    Good example of this is changing a video file from Movie to TV Show. It does change the location within iTunes, but the file itself remains in the Movies folder, right where it was before.
    This was working perfectly before upgrading earlier this morning to version 10.2.2.12.
    I have double-checked and iTunes is still set to organize my library for me.
    Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just to let me know that it's a known issue with this new version.
    I am running Windows 7 (64 bit).

         If you organize your iTunes media folder yourself, DO NOT DO WHAT JonSS DID!.   It will move all your files to folders with the artists name on them instead of by album.  It fixed the video podcasts (and apparent other kinds of video files -  I haven't checked yet) being sent to their respective folders but totally borked my music file system.
          This is fine for me and my iPod Touch, but, my wife has a non-Apple mp3 player and she likes to find music by artist+album. Now all the Compilation Albums are in multiple folders (i.e. The Animal House Sndtrk is not in one folder but in 11 different artist folders in the main Media folder).
          This has happened in the past and I hope some overworked and undereducated (maybe overeducated and underworked is correct?) coder is feverishly trying to fix this. 
         I recommend a reinstall of 10.2.1 to keep control of your library yourself and have the newly downloaded video files assigned to their proper folders.  (btw, if your looking for your recently d/l'd video Podcasts, they are in the Downloads folder as psuedo tmp.mp4 files).  This seems to be a problem with just the video files.  I don't use iTunes to watch my video files. I either watch them on my Touch or on Windows Media Center on my HTPC. So having each show/podcast in it's respective folder is important to keep track of them.
    Luckily, I recently backed up my iTunes Media Folder for a re-install and will use it when I reinstall 10.2.1 (I have approximately 16,000 music files from my CD collection, OS-level organization is quite important)
    Fix one thing...break 3 other things...ahh, the life of a "cut & paste" coder...I knew it well...
    Now I have to find a different RSS-based video Podcast downloader...any suggestions?

  • How do i upgrade iTunes? currently on version 6 and need to upgrade

    Please can someone tell me how to upgrade my itunes? Currently on 6 and need to upgrade to a newer version.
    Many Thanks

    You download the new version from here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    It is generally best to save the installer onto your destop and running it from there, rather than clicking on "run" when you download.

  • What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

    We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
    There was some confusion today that still persists:
    (1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
    (2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
    How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
    Thanks,
    doug

    This has been discussed a number of times here already.
    The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
    All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
    You have 2 choices:
    1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
    2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.

    Hi,
    Check this link which may help u:
    http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/igs-upgrade-1455477
    The installation/upgrade procedures for the integrated IGS are as follows:
    Integrated Version Installation
    The integrated IGS is automatically installed with the SAP Web Application Server.
    Integrated Version Upgrade
    You find the upgrade files for the integrated IGS version on the SAP Service Marketplace:
    http://service.sap.com/swdc  ®  Download  ®  Support Packages and Patches ®  Entry by ApplicationGroup  ®  SAP Frontend Components ®  SAP IGS  ®  SAP IGS .
    There, you find the IGS executables and libraries (igsexe_.sar) as well as the IGS folder structure (igshelper_.sar) containing among others font files.
    With the upgrade files of the executables and libraries, proceed exactly like you would with kernel patches (for example, extract the Archive to the same location). More information about kernel patches can be found in the related note 19466 in the section Copying and Installing a Patch.
    The upgrade files for the IGS folder structure must be extracted to the instance directory (DIR_INSTANCE). More information can be found in note 1028690.

  • Transformation and DTP for upgraded 3.5 objects in BI 7.0

    Dear  Experts,
       When I do a upgrade from  bw 3.5 to BI 7.0, How do I  create transformation and DTP for the upgraded objects. Do I need to create new transformation and  DTP  for these  objects?.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    If only needed nw2004s data flow(DTP,Transformation..) then migration required else you can stay with old 3.x dataflow.
    Follow below links patiently it has wealth of information embedded.
    For nw2004s data flow
    Pre-requisite - 3.x datasource to be replicated as 7.0
    and migrate datasource with "export datasource option" so that you can later revert back to OLD if needed.
    nw2004s Concepts
    new NW2004s Data flow
    R/3---->PSA only (using Infopackage) for all the Loads -Mandatory
    PSA -
    >ODS/Cube -->load using DTP ,create transformation first
    no Datamart architecture in NW2004s
    so ODS -
    >Cube load using DTP ,creating transformation first
    Once loaded to PSA in DTP you have the option of FULL or DELTA ,full loads all the data from PSA and DELTA loads only the last load of PSA.
    Go through the links for Lucid explainations
    Infopackage -

    3. Right Click > Additional Functions > Transformation erzeugen

  • I need advice on setting up numerous iPads and Macs for use in a school

    Hi
    The school I work with has purchased 15 iPads and currently runs 6 macs. As I understand it there are limitations to the number of devices (both mac and iPad included) you can tie to one apple id.
    I need to know what you need to do in order to get numerous devices connected and more importantly managed through a single apple id.
    The iPads are to be used as an educational tool for the students and will be completely locked down in terms of web / youtube twitter access.
    Thanks

    For the iPads, you can use Apple Configurator to install apps on all 15 iPads using a single Apple ID. For paid apps, you will need to enroll in Apple's Education VPP program http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/ which will allow a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app. And best of all, you can save 50% of the cost on most apps when buying 20 copies or more. So even if you only need 15 licenses of a paid app, its cheaper to purchase 20 through VPP and save 50%. Using Apple Configurator, I would "Supervise" the iPads and install the apps (and configuration profiles) to all iPads.
    Apple Configurator Resources
    PDF: http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/docs/iOS_Apple_Configurator_Mar12.pdf
    Video: http://www.apple.com/education/resources/videos/#introduction-to-apple-configura tor
    Help Pages: http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
    I'm not sure if they have a similar program to VPP for the OS X computers…
    But the limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
    From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses and it will allow you to install on multiple devices using a single district Apple ID.
    Hope this helps!
