New iTunes blocks purchased music import to iMovie

I was in the middle of creating an iMovie, and had added background music, including songs I had purchased on iTunes. Yesterday they imported fine. Today when I opened the project again, I received a message to update my iTunes, which I did. Then I finished my iMovie and, when I went to save the project, I received a message that my computer was no longer authorized to import the songs I had purchased on this computer into my iMovie project. I can understand tightening copyright infringements, but this is ridiculous. It worked yesterday with the old iTunes, and now it doesn't - what a deal on the upgrade! That's why I use a Mac - the ease of creating fun family videos in iMove, including background music of songs I have already purchased! Is there a work - around, or, as someone suggested, a way to "downgrade?"

The past 2 times ITUNES was updated on my G4 10.3.9 I could not access previously purchased music and had to hire help to fix the problem. July 18, my procare instructor quickly updated to ITUNES 7 last week, much to my horror, and sure enough, when I tried to burn an IMOVIE quicktime movie I had been working on for FIVE months to show at my son's wedding, several songs would not play due to "authorization" issues. Other purchased songs did play. Repeatedly I "authorized" the computer to play them, repeatedly it said authorization was successful but flashed another window on top of that one that said my computer was not authorized to play, giving me the same steps I just performed to enable ITUNES songs to play. When this last happened in February, even the man at the Genuis Bar could not fix it. Getting another ID and password did not fix it until Apple fixed it from that end.
Now I have a major movie to show to a banquet room full of guests in another state, and I cannot because of some ITUNES software update glitch.

  • HT1727 How do i get itunes to recognize music imported into the file structure?

    How do I get iTunes to recognize music imported into the file structure?

    Press Alt or Ctrl+B to reveal the menu bar if needed.
    Use File > Add Folder to Library if you just want to import it.
    If you're trying to relink broken entries in a library with the corresponding media then some more details would help.

  • Synced new ipod to itunes, now missing all but itunes store purchased music that is already on my phone

    Synced our new ipod nano today to itunes. I don't know what happened but now all but itunes store purchases are in the library, my playlist is gone as well as all the music I had downloaded from my CD's. The iphone 5 still has everything on it but not on my computer. Frustrating!!   Now I'm scared to sync my phone, thinking I may lose all of my library off there as well. How do I get my library back on to my computer so I can transfer that music to my ipod?

    Look into iTunes Match, a service from Apple that uploads your music in itunes to the cloud (not icloud) so you can download it to other devices.
    Try googling "itunes match"

  • Itunes Old Purchased music

    hey ive been an itunes user since the begining , and as such I have have bought a lot of songs throughout my relationship with itunes
    and my music collection is better than average . recently i noticed that some of my old purchases can be converter by merely selecting
    and choosing a new option for itunes purchased materials .  WELL AMEN ! .... but , i still have almost 1,000 songs which were too old for
    this process . Why shouldnt these songs be converted ? why should i burn a 100 cds when i dont need to ? more then the cd , why should
    i waste my own time? and thats what it really comes down to for me , time . am I being punished for being a long time itunes CUSTOMER ?
    Why should i do half hack work arounds to get my files completely playable and BURNable ?  so because i didnt buy these songs yesterday ?
    im somehow less important , when in fact It was the opposite as with anything , in itunes store , those who were there at its infancy should be honored
    not shunned
    all i request is that i can down load these songs again for free , or you can somehow update itunes to allow me to convert them
    as if i HAD bought them today
    and maybe a smile and a thank you
    and thats it

    they are still very much forsale ......
    burning 100 cds would take a **** of a lot more time then posting a thread .....
    my post was pretty straight forward too

  • Bought new iPod - will purchased music be OK

    My daughter is on her third iPod and she has a large purchased music collection. I know that iTunes purchased music is OK for up to 5 authorized computers - but what about iPods? Is there a limit to the number of times that she can upgrade the music to a new iPod? I want to make sure that I don't have to do something on the old one (like you have to deauthorize a computer before trashing it) before loading up the new one.
    In a similar vein - I plan on taking her old one loading my music onto it - again - I know that my music on my iTunes will overwrite the entire thing - but will my purchased music be OK on 2 iPods that are both in use?
    Thanks.
    Lou

    There is no limit to the number of iPods you can transfer music purchased from the iTunes Store to.
    but will my purchased music be OK on 2 iPods that are both in use?
    Yes.

  • ITunes store purchased music not showing

    today I went into the itunes store and went under music and purchased......blank screen!!  My books, movies, and tv shows are there but not my music.  Anyone else have this happen and did you get it fixed?  Other computer in the house isn't doing it there's is fine. It's working on my iphone and ipod.

    Oops sorry I didn't phrase my question right >.< o
    What I'm trying to explain is with the new iTunes Store 9.0 when you buy a song it fades out the name to show you have purchased the song. And recently I have purchased the full album in different parts at different times but never pressed the Buy Album button to get the full album at once. Now after I brought the full album all the songs say I have not purchased them or now let me buy them once again, when they are usually faded in the iTunes store like I said before.
    So I was wondering why it did that because I wanted the extra feature for the full album. Since I have brought ever song on the album that I completed.
    So earlier this year my hard drive failed and I got a new one which I restored with my Time Capsule. And before my hard drive failed I had purchased a few of the songs on the album (with 8.0), and when I installed 9.0, where you can see what songs you have by them being faded them out,it didn't show credit for any of the songs I had purchased before my hard drive failed.
    If you need me to re-clarify or need more info feel free to ask ^.^ I did have some trouble writing up the question since it is hard to describe

  • ITunes does not recognize non-iTunes Store-purchased music - Windows 7.

    No matter which iTunes Media folder location I select in 'advanced preferences', only songs purchased from the iTunes store are available in iTunes; not any ripped or otherwise downloaded music. This happened three days after downloading the latest iTunes update, after uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and after moving music from a CD into the default folder location in 'advanced preferences'. After all this, I ripped a new CD in iTunes that played and displayed just fine in iTunes and was placed in the exact same folder as the 80 other CDs that are NOT visible, playable, or available in any other context in iTunes. I am spent. What gives?

    Right click on the video in iTunes and select Get Info, go to the video tab and see if you can set Video Kind to Movie
    When you managed to get it on the phone and you were able to just hear the sound, did you play the file from the video tab on your phone's ipod?

  • How to use itunes store purchased music in SP?

    Hello,
    I know that iTunes store music is copywrited and you can't use it in any commercial product. But I am making a movie of my vacation that maybe 10 of my friends and family will see.
    I would like to use my iTunes music in this movie and of course the songs I want are the ones that I bought on the music store.
    How would I be able to use those songs in my project? If you can do it in iMovie, you should be able to do it in Soundtrack. If I bought a CD I would be able to!
    Are there any kind of utilities to take that lock of the songs?
    D

    i haven't actually tried any importing music with drm into STP yet, but in the past on my pc, if drm was causing issue with using an mp3 in certain applications (soundforge was a regular), i'd simply burn the track as audio and extract the audio back from the cd...
    a little cheeky but drm should be there to prevent piracy, not hinder the legally paying customer

  • New Computer, New iTunes How do I import my entire library from old computer

    Greetings,
    I just finished setting up a new Mac with OSX 10.9. My older Mac with iTunes accessed a library on a shared, external networked drive. How do I point my new Mac to my old music, movie and app library on my networked drive?
    Until I can do that I'll have to use the old machine to view and play music and movies as well as synchronize to my iPod and iPad.
    Thank you for any pointers.
    Tim

    Ahh, the sacred option key love learning about all the special keyboard combinations to custimize your mac.
    Thanks!
    PS: for anyone trying this, after you select the itunes library you want to import, iTunes might "freeze" for a while with no window open or anything indictating that something's happening, just wait a few minutes for it to process the library and then click on the iTunes icon again and it should open as normal

  • Did the new iTunes disable my music cds?

    My eMac 700 with combo drive running OS X 10.3.9 and iTunes 7 does not want to play a music cd. I just reinstalled the operating system and nothing changed. How can I uninstall iTunes with all of it's extensions? I believe it has something to do with iTunes. The drive just sits there and spins with a moaning sound. Put a cd in with data on it and no problem.

    I ended up moving the iTunes plist files into a folder on my desktop. This seemed to force iTunes to build new plist files. Now I could play a music cd with iTunes on my eMac. So there is something in iTunes that must be broken.

  • Itunes Sharing Purchased Music DRM

    We have sharing on in our office and we can't listen to some songs on library's because they need the users itunes password. How do we remove the DRM or upgrade music that was bought from the itunes store when they had DRM?

    Please note that the terms of sale for the iTunes Store say that all purchases are for personal use only. Sharing in a commercial setting is not personal use and so is not allowed, and such use generally would require specific licenses from the copyright owners for use of their music in a commercial setting, even if you were playing CDs. The RIAA and artist's rights associations hire people to visit businesses looking for unlicensed use, so be warned.
    Regards.

  • ITunes distorts purchased music...

    After I downloaded the newest version of iTunes I was unable to listen to my music purchased earlier than this month (april). The audio acts as though it is skipping. My other music--purchased this month or uploaded from CDs--is fine. If anyone knows what is going on or how to fix this, please respond. Thanks.

  • HT201272 New iTunes - audiobook purchases

    Where are audiobooks found under purchases?  Are they under music or podcasts or something?  My husband purchased an audiobook on the iPad and now we cannot find it under our purchases to download to the computer.

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download, so you won't be able to re-download it on your computer. You will need to connect the iPad to it and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

  • ITunes erasing purchased music from iPhone

    Please help!
    I have purchased three songs via the iPhone during the last two months. When I connect my iPhone to my computer the purchased songs are erased without any notification. All other material on my iPhone remains intact (i.e., songs imported from cd's, audio books, movies etc...) If I download songs via my computer/iTunes everything is fine.
    sys info:
    iPhone F/W 1.1.4
    iTunes 7
    Windows XP

    Thank you for the quick response.
    However, the files/songs never get copied to my computer. (i.e., never synced over to iTunes nor my hard drive) I have performed a complete search and the files just do not exist. The first time this occurred, iTunes support stated that the download was incomplete and reissued a download. I proceeded to download the song via my computer without any issues. To this day it is still in the purchased folder. (Note: after originally downloading the song via iPhone, it worked perfectly on the phone until sync)
    This scenario happened again with the last two purchases. Both songs loaded fine to the iPhone via iPhone's iTunes. The songs played on the phone for ever a week and then stopped once i plugged the phone into iTunes via computer.
    Do you think I may have a setting that is hampering my songs from being copied from my iPhone to my computer?
    I would like to get this cleared up before I try to download another song via my iPhone.
    thanks,
    BBB
