Newly released album is DRM protected, can't add to phone using Doubletwist?

I am new to Itunes and have just purchased my first music album.
I was hoping to use the doubletwist Android app to sync my new Itunes music to my phone, however ran into an error which told me that my music is DRM protected and I would need to upgrade to Itunes Plus.
A little bit of research into all this unfamiliar territory seemed to suggest that Itunes annouced it had stopped selling DRM protected music in 2009, so my question is why does my new album, which was released in October 2012 have this DRM and why do I need to pay to remove it.
Album in question is BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge - 2012.
Thank you for any responses.
Daniel

A little bit of research into all this unfamiliar territory seemed to suggest that Itunes annouced it had stopped selling DRM protected music in 2009,
Not exactly.  The exact official words are:
"Why is iTunes Plus format available for certain music, but not all?
The reason that certain music and music videos are not offered in our DRM-free, highest quality audio format is because they have not been provided in iTunes Plus format from the music label."
Some newer files look like they have DRM, but don't really, and can be "cleaned up" by changing the file extension from .m4p to ,m4a, and then re-adding to the library.  Give it a try.

    Make sure that the iPad is using the same Apple ID as your iPhone. If the phone number still doesn't appear, log out of iMessage on both devices, log back in on the iPhone, wait until it activates, then log into iMessage on the iPad with the same Apple ID.

  • Can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch

    Hi,
    I can't unlock my phone using the touch screen on my LG Cosmos Touch. Which means I can't access the calender, recent calls, and the other features on the phone. The only thing I can do is slide the phone when I need to answer a call or send a text. I'm not sure what the problem is.  I also don't want to pull the battery out and re insert it because I think if I do that, my phone will lock up permanently.  Will someone help me please?
    Thanks,
    Mackenzie

    How can I add a phone number to my start new conversation

    Hello brentfrommt. washington
    To add a phone number to your iMessage account, you need to have an iPhone with your phone number on it. Once you sign into iMessage the iPhone it will link to all your devices with that Apple ID. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Can I add iOS directly using my ipad?

    Can I add iOS directly using my ipad?

    Not if you are running iOS 4.3.3 as your tagline indicates. You must update with the latest version of iTunes on a computer. This explains how to do it, if you don't already know how.

  • Newly Created Group and Workspace. Can't add new participants to Workspace

    Hi,
    So I have recently created a Group. Oracle_Utilities_Customer_Care_and_Billing to be exact. Now the group has been approved and verified. So a Home Workspace has been created, yay. I added a new member to a group. His membership has already been verified as well.
    The problems
    1.) I can't add him as participant to the Home Workspace. I have been browsing the forums and didn't find anything that I could have done wrong.
    2.) I did create a new Workspace (lets call it W2). I can't add any of the members in the existing group as participant, however, I can add the Home_Workspace.Participant group as a participant. Can't I choose who can join the workspace.
    I read the forums and the FAQs but can't seem to find anything wrong to what I have done. I have also updated the Settings of the group through BOLAdministration screen. From there I can only see 3 members in the group. The 4th one I added is not yet there. In the https://beehiveonline-apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=200:2:736394962014012::NO::: screen the 4th member is there and he is verified.
    Hope you guys can help. We hope to have this working as soon as possible.
    Thanks,
    Richmond

    Richmond,
    we had a liock file jamming the provisioning process after a jvm failed - I have cleared thia now so all 4 users should eb available in the system.
    The underscores in the Workspace name are vital to maintain the connection between the group and the Workspace and if the Workspace is renamed the linkage will be broken. Putting it back will re-establish the link but you may have missed a user in the process. To get them into the Workspace you will have to add them manually by chosing them in the new Participants area.
    I have manually readded Grant Murray and the group looks complete now.
    There should be a group visible called Oracle_Utilities_Customer_Care_and_Billing.

  • How can i add a phone to my existing itunes account

    My husband's iPhone 5C will not turn on yet I am being instructed by Apple that I must deactivate it or be charged $900 for returning it  un-deactivated. It was never added to my itunes account, so I cannot deactivate it remotely unless I add it.  How can I add it, deactivate it and add the replacement phone?  Please help as I have a very limited amount of time (and hair) left to accomplish this or be charged another $900 by apple for not returning it in a timely manner.  Thanks.

    If it won't power on, there's nothing you can do. Are they asking you to remove it from Find My iPhone? If so, and it's not associated with any account, then there's nothing to remove/deactivate.

  • TS4020 If my husband and I both have iphone 5's with different icloud accounts can I find his phone using find my Iphone?

    If my husband and I both have iphone 5's with seperate icloud accounts can we track each other using find my iphone?

    Sure,  all you need is Find My iPhone app.  When using it, just sign in using your husband's ID, not yours.  You'll be able to track his device.   I do that with my wife when she's on a long trip.

  • HT4436 can i add another phone to icloud

    my daughter has an IPOD.  How can i get her imessages received via wireless to not come to my iphone?  can i add her normal cell phone to the icloud account so i can link her messages to her phone?

    If "normal cellphone" is iphone then yes. Otherwise, you have to associate one email with your phone number when you sign in to messages on your phone, most likely you already did. Then you can have your phone number checked on your phone in messages - send and receive, and your email checked on her ipod. It will provide separation. Everyone who sends to your phone number will get to you and everyone who sends to email will send to her. To me it is still problematic.
    So what I would personally do is create another apple id for her. Sign her out of messages and sign in with her personal id. It will take a few days for her friends to adapt that her address has changed, but in the long run will save you bunch of trouble. Use that article to create apple id without credit card.

  • Can't unlock my phone using the correct password

    I can't unlock my phone and I'm using the correct password. I'm at my final attempt to enter the password or ALL of my personal information will be lost!! I just got off of the phone with customer service and was told basically I'm going to lose all my business contacts & personal notes that I entered this morning during my morning meeting and that it's my fault because I didn't back it up!!! How the heck can I back up my device while during my company meeting?? I'm the owner and I have many notes and etc on my device that I put there this morning!!! Now I lose money because I can't get my information. I'm so ticked off right now!!! Customer service wasn't helpful at all...he just blamed me for my problem!! Never mind the fact that the darn phone keeps turning itself on and off randomly!

    i went through that exact experience and what saved me was entering the password, which i knew, on my laptop with the BB connected

  • HT201317 How can i unlock my phone using this computer?

    How can i unlock my iphone using my computer?

    With the new IOS 7 therer has been what is know as an activation lock in which disables the user to restore the device to default settings without knowing the password to the apple id. Once you have restored the device back to default settings it will then ask you to plug in the apple id password. Once you have verified your identity with the apple id password you will be good to go!
    Good luck.

  • IPad 2 photo does not have add album option button, how can I add alu

    iPad 2 does not have a button to add album, how do I add album with out this?

    Then you need to connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes.  Assuming you have been backing up your computer to your computer and iTunes, it will tell you there is an update available for your iPad and ask if you want to update.  Choose yes.  But be advised, upgrading to iOS 5.1.1 is a lengthy process.  Make sure you have enough time.  Turn off your Anti Virus/FIrewall software.  And even when you see the Apps rebuilding back on your iPad screen, do not disconnect your iPad from your computer and iTunes until you are told the entire process is complete.
    This link is from when iOS5 was first released.  While the current iOS version is 5.1.1, you should read this as it still would be applicable to you since you are going to the new OS for the first time.  http://www.macworld.com/article/1162925/how_to_upgrade_your_ios_device_to_ios_5. html
