Purchased Music track to be transfered to windows

Hi, I have purchased a music track from the I tune store and I want to put it on to a video of my children that I am making, the system I have is Pinnacle Edition 5. But when I search for it in 'Import Media' it does not appear any where. Even when I paste the I tune track to my desk top, and then look there via the 'Import Media' in Pannacle, it still is not there. Is it because the track is protected? and if so, how can get over this problem?
Regards
David

If you bought the track from the iTunes Store then yes, the song is protected. You can use it in your movie by burning the track to an Audio CD, then importing it back into iTunes. Before importing it, I recommend you set your Preferences (Advanced, Importing) to use the WAV encoder. You can then use the resulting WAV file as the sound track in your movie.

Purchased music from itunes not transferring

I have some music I purchased from itunes on my computer but it won't go onto to ipod touch, it says I am not authorised??? How do I make it so I am authorised??? They went on my old ipod without any problems, are you only allowed to put them on one ipod?
Thank you in advance for any answers

You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

Listening to Purchased Music on Different Windows XP Account

My sister frequently purchases songs at the iTunes store. I like a lot of the songs she purchases but I don't wanna waste a CD by burning just a few songs on it. Does anyone know how to get her purchased music on her iTunes transferred over to my iTunes which is on a different account on my Windows XP?

Is it possible to get a copy of all purchased music from itunes?

Hi, My copy of itunes reinstalled itself, so all of my purchased music is now only in the music file. From multiple imports, there are two, three or four copies of most songs in the itunes music library, except for the purchased music, which is only in the Windows music folder. Thought I would delete everything and start over. It would be easier than fixing this mess. I am wondering if it is possible to get a complete purchase history from itunes so that I can save all purchased music before I purge this mess out of my system? Music is taking up 60Gb when it should only be about 15 Gb. Any help would be appreciated.

You can list your purchase history in your iTunes store account.
Also you should have a purchased music playlist.
The other way of doing it is use the "Kind" column. If you don't see it, go to View>>Options and check "Kind"
Purchased music shows up as "Protected AAC" or for iTunes Plus, "Purchased AAC". You can use Kind to make a smart playlist containing purchased music - if you don't have already have a purchased playlist.
But be very careful about deleting music files and make sure you have good backups in case you make a mistake. Don't rely on the recycle bin - it doesn't usually have room for large numbers of music files.

If your Lightroom 6 is crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track

After spending over 2 hours with an Adobe technician who had control over my Windows 7 machine, I've learned something that I don't think Adobe knows yet... I upgraded from LR 5.7 to LR 6 (not CC) and began having issues when I was working in the Slideshow module. When trying to add a music track, Lightroom would crash ("unexpectedly quit"). I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I turned off the GPU since a fair amount of chatter on the forum related to that, but it didn't change anything.
So I finally waited patiently for the Adobe Chat line to finally get a tech to respond...and he was exceptionally detailed and methodical in his approach to diagnosing my issues. I could follow on my screen as he did a variety of things that indicated he understood what he was doing. Unfortunately he got to a point where he thought (as did I) that he had found the problem/solution...which he thought was related to the bit rate. He concluded that music with a Variable Bit Rate (VBR) as opposed to a Constant Bit Rate (CBR) was causing the problem. Also unfortunate was that this "discovery" was near the 2-1/2 hour mark and we did not apply the scientific method to property determine if we had narrowed down to cause/effect.
Based on my further analysis, he was close, but not right on. It isn't the BIT rate mode that is causing the crash, but rather the SAMPLE rate. Turns out that the vast majority of songs in my iTunes library have a sample rate of 44.100 kHz--and those work just fine. However, I have about 15 songs, mostly downloaded as free background music from the YouTube creation library, that have a sample rate of 48.000 kHz--every single one of those cause my LR6 to crash.
If you're having a problem with Lightroom crashing in the Slideshow module, check the SAMPLE RATE of your music track.

If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic. With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

HT201272 itunes was on mac book that crashed. Did all steps to download purchased music onto new computer. Only part of my purchased music was transferred to new computer. Can't recover remainder of purchased music.

itunes was on mac book that crashed. Trying to move music and podcasts to wifes windows 7 pc. Followed all steps for importing purchased items. Only a portion of purchased music was transferred to new computer. What to do???

JustMeAndYou,
For what it's worth ...
Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:

Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Can't copy purchased music from iTunes to iPod(logged into a Windows domain

I'm running iTunes on Windows XP. I've been using it to manage my music including purchasing music for iTunes.The laptop I'm using I also use it for work and log into a work Domain. I recently purchased an iPod (video) and attempted to transfer music via iTunes. When I manually try to transfer purchased songs only iTunes closes. I can transfer songs that have been imported into the library via CD. I receive a message "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." My user login has administrator rights to the PC (where iTunes is installed). All my music files are kept on an external hard drive. I've called Apple support and reinstalled the software several times with the same results. I did create a new user that logs in to
the PC (not the work Domain), that can somehow transfer the music to the iPod. But I can not see any folders, playlists, or purchased music that was established when logged on the work Domain. That solution isn't sufficient because I can't normally create different users
and run iTunes (and other products) this way.
Anyone encounter this problem? Any suggestions?

This sounds like an interesting snag - clearly if you can get copied CD tracks onto the iPod there isn't an issue PC to iPod.
I wonder if the inability to copy downloaded music is related to the very clever stuff Apple do to prevent you writing more than seven copies of those tracks? Just a thought - I have no idea how it all works, but it occurs to me it could get embroiled in network stuff?? If you are friendly with your administrator ask them if you can have a go at connecting your iPod to a computer with admin rights, and see if you get a more helpful error message.

Can anyone help with a problem transferring purchased music PC to mac?

I have recently moved from a PC to a macbook pro, and have previously purchased 10 or so albums from iTunes store that quite happily updated to my iPod so that I could play them.
I used iPodutil to transfer all of my music to my new mac iTunes library, reformatted my iPod for my mac, but on syncing to get all of the songs from my mac back onto my iPod, find that "these songs were purchased for another computer, and cannot therefore be downloaded to your iPod". Essentially everything that I have (ironically) legally paid for through iTunes refuses to download to my iPod because it is not the original PC I purchased them on??
Does anyone have a fix for this, or is the "switch" from PC to mac going to deny me my favourite and legally purchased tracks?
Thanks in advance
Andrew
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Have you authorized your Mac to the iTunes Store account under which you purchased these tracks? If not, you need to do so, either by playing one of the tracks or by using the Authorize command under the Store menu in ITunes.
If you have, but haven't played the tracks at least for a few seconds, try than and then try transferring them to your iPod. Sometimes the authorization doesn't "take" until the track is first played in iTunes.
Hope this helps.

Loosing track info when transferring music

I've suddenly started loosing track info when transferring music.
I can take a cd, copy it to My Collection (M4A, Mobile Optimised) and all the info is displayed ok. When I transfer it to my phone (N70) the track data is lost and all music is dumped into the Unknown Artist folder, yet it still shows ok in the phone folder on Music Manager on the PC. Bizarrely, previous tracks that have the correct Artist/Album etc on the phone do not show correctly in the phone folder in Music Manager.
Any clues as to what's going on? I've used Nokia Manager many times before without this problem.

How to transfer music including purchased music from ipod touch to my computer running windows 7

how to transfer music including purchased music from ipod touch to my computer running windows 7

Hi, dphoward525
If you've purchased the music from itunes, when you plug the iPod in to the pc, it'll ask if you want to transfer purchases to the computer. Due to the restriction ,we can only transfer our music from PC to iPod , but not transferring from iPod to PC if you’ve not purchased them .In this case, transferring your files from iPod to computer can be a hassle , I think you will need a practical third-party solution . In order to find out how to transfer music from iPod to computer, you need to seach more information on the internet.

Purchased music saga across multiple devices!! Oh and greyed out iTunes tracks!!

Ok, this has been bugging me for a while now! This post spans many common questions regarding the iTunes store, purchased music held within iCloud and how that purchased music relates to multiple iOS devices. I cannot work out how this is all supposed to fit together and I honestly believe there is some fundamental issues with either my account or the system as a whole. To explain I am going to use my iPhone 6 and my iPad Air 2nd generation to show you the current situation.
Ok, below is my iTunes store music purchases, as viewed in iTunes on my Mac Mini. 31 albums in total, some may not be full albums as it may have been a single that I bought from an album.
Ok, both my iPhone and iPad are set to "Manually manage music and videos" in iTunes and all music has been deleted from them both via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage. There is ZERO music held on either device, neither manually moved there from iTunes or downloaded to the devices from my purchases in the cloud (the 31 albums above).
Ok, within Settings > Music on both devices, "Show All Music" is off. This should mean that if I go into the Music app on both devices, my device should show no content. My understanding is correct about this yes? Here is the result on each device.
iPad: This is to be expected
iPhone: Something is wrong here (8 albums showing in total)
None of the above can be swiped left to delete and all play while in airplane mode so they ARE stored locally! They may have been synced to the iPhone in the past via iTunes, however now they should not be there.
The questions here: Why are they on my iPhone? Why has the first album been split (if I add it manually to my iPad using iTunes then it goes on as one album)?
More importantly, how do I get rid of them? They don't show as present in iTunes when connected, they don't show in "Manage Storage" and I can't swipe left to delete.
Moving on! I will now turn on "Show All Music" on my iPad. I expect now to see all music purchased from the iTunes store, i.e. the 31 album's.
Nope! I now see 29 albums and 1 of those will be the split album so 28 in total. Where is the other 3 shown in iTunes purchases? Hang on, see below the first album? Professor Green! I bought that from iTunes come to think of it but it doesn't show as one of my 31 albums! The same can be said for the other 21 albums that now appear! 8 that seem to be stuck and 21 more when "Show All Music" is turned on. The 31 albums showing in my iTunes as purchases are nowhere to be seen!!
Also worth noting is that Cream Club Anthems 2012 is also split into 2 albums on my iPad displaying whats in iCloud so not just on the music that seems to be stuck on my iPhone. Sigh!
Ok, on my iPhone, when I turn on "Show All Music" i get the exact same 29 albums as shown above on my iPad.
So 2 issues based on this! My purchases in the cloud are not complete and have split one album, this is proved by my iPad showing no content when "Show All Music" is turned off. Second is that when I turn that setting off on my iPhone, I am left with albums on my device, despite all music being deleted and one of the "sticky" albums is split into 2 albums.
I will throw this one in too. "Show All Music" set to off and all music deleted by iTunes and swiping left on my iPhone. Connect to iTunes and have a look what is on my device! What the **** is all this crap? Can't be deleted and definitely not present on the device!
Not good enough Apple. I have seen multiple threads with people asking questions relating to all the above and no one has given a comprehensive answer as to why this happens! I use Apple products exclusively now as everything is supposed to fit together seemlessly. As you can see from above, it just doesn't!

I am assuming someone at Apple has seen this as today all my music shows with "Show All Music" selected. However, the split album is still split and when I turn off the aforementioned setting the 8 albums still show.
It's reminding me of the old Windows Media Player days!

How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer? I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library. Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one? I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs. Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.

I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.

The ""not recognized for on-line use". error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes.

Even though I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

My new ipad2 doesn't show any of the music I had previously burned from all my CDs. Even thorough I had synced numerous times, those tracks are not in my library. Only the purchased music.

The tracks are not in your iTunes library?
Or they are in the library but will not sync to the iPad?
Select the iPad in iTunes.
Click the Music tab at top.
Tick Sync music and make sure Sync all is selected or if Sync selected is selected, make sure you tick what you want to sync.
FYI: Burn means to create a CD (because you burn with the laser). RIP means to get off an audioCD onto the computer.

A music track I purchased only partially downloaded. I am unable to re-download it again as there is no option, so cannot get the full track I have purchased. Any ideas?

I purchased an 8 minute music track on itunes which only downloaded about 22 seconds. It does not give me the option to re-download what I purchased on itunes, only to play it - so it only re-plays the partially downloaded track. I know the full track is available as I managed to download it to my iphone but when i connected my iphone to itunes the one which was only partially downloaded saved in my music directory overwrote the full version I managed to get on my iphone so I'm back to square one again. Any ideas? Thanks

Delete the track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.
