ITunes Purchased Songs Can't Be Used on non Apple Music Devices?
I just bought some music off iTunes, and was under the impression that it would be able to work on other music players as well, ex. my cellphone has mp3 capability. Can iTunes music be played on cell phones? Will I have to burn the album onto a CD then reload it onto my computer and transfer that file to my phone? Help? Please? Thanks .
If it is listed as an iTunes plus song, it will be DRM-free an you can use it on your phone.
If it is a regular iTunes song (non-plus), you'll have to go through the steps you listed.

Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played in non-apple music devices that dont support the M4A format?
Yes, of course it is legal.
To convert the format, follow one of these documents:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
iTunes 11 for Mac: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Also note that you have the option of buying your files in MP3 format in the first place, from Amazon MP3 or other online retailers. MP3 files will work in iTunes as well as virtually every other player, program, and device. -
What does "This ipod can not be used because the apple mobile device service is not started" mean. After I updated my Itunes I get this message when I plug in my Ipod and it doesn't come up in Itunes.
If you are using Windows 7, go to:
Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
Look for a program called 'Apple Mobile Device Support'
Right-click on it
Click 'repair'
Wait until the repair operation is complete, and voila, your problem should be solved, itunes will recognise your iphone/ipod once more. This worked for me. -

How do I start the Apple Mobile Device service? or maybe I shouldn't get it. I recently downloaded a Netflix app thinking it would work on my older iPod running version 3.1.3 and is only a 8 Gig device. Could this be my problem? The device doesn't even show up in "My Computer" or under devices in iTunes. Any help would be appreciated?
See this article for instructions on restarting the service (or re-installing if necessary).
