Purchased Songs question

Can one purchase songs, burn them to CD, and then import them back in fo unlimited future burnings, or will iTunes somehow recognize them as purchaes? I have been getting a "Burn Failed Error 4261" message and a tech told me it was because i tried to burn a purchase more than 7 times. But I am so new to iTunes that I'd only burned a couple of discs before the message started appearing. Very frustrating.

A couple of things:
First, I don't know what that error is.
Second, yes, if you burn as an Audio CD, you can import as mp3 or any other unprotected format and the song will be completely free of protection. However, the quality will degrade (to various degrees of noticeability) when you do this.
Third, you already have unlimited burns for any song. The limit is for playlists, and only playlists burned in Audio mode. Data or MP3 mode are unlimited, and you can always just make a new playlist and burn again.

    There mus have been a security issue with your account.
    If you can't remember the answers to the security questions, then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

  • Unable to purchase songs, asks me to answer security questions which I do not know   I was not the one who created (MY APPLE ID). PS I never had a problem before.

    I am unable to purchase songs from Itunes. It asks me to answer two security questions which I do not know because I wasnt the one who created my Apple id. It has never happened to me before.

            2.  Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
            3.  Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.

  • I have purchased songs from itunes before on this computer. Now i am getting security questions that i do not know the answers to. It is saying that it is the first time I have purchased from this computer..

    I have purchased songs from the itunes store many times on this computer. Now it is saying that I have to answer security questions that I do not know the answers to before i can download a song. It says because I have not purchased before on this computer, but I have. Can't get past it and just download my songs.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Can't purchase songs because I don't have my security questions

    I have been trying to purchase songs on my iTunes and it will not let me because I do not have my security question answers. I have tried multiple times to reset them and I haven't received my email. I checked my spam, I checked other emails and I have not received anything.  This has happened multiple times. Does anyone know how to receive the email to get the security questions either reset, or the answers sent to me?

    If you aren't receiving the reset email to your rescue email account then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset check that you've spelt your rescue email address correctly for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • I am on Icloud with 2 computers cell phone and my ipod..... My question is how do I get purchased songs on my ipod from the different computers.

    I am on icloud with2 computers , Ipod and iphone   I want the purchased songs on each computer to download to my ipod. I thought all three devices were able to communicate from the icloud.  How do I do this.....

    Hello billy-the-kid,
    This can be done by verifying that each device and computer is signed into the same iTunes Store account, and enabling Automatic Downloads on all of them.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • When we purchase from iTunes the balance is not coming off of the gift cards. We have family sharing on but when my kids purchase songs they are credited to our credit card and not the gift card that is already in their account. What's wrong?

  • How to re-add purchased songs from my account to another itunes?

    hey, I had my laptop stolen and I'm currently borrowing one until I get a new one. I've changed my password etc. for my itunes account so it can no longer be accessed on my stolen laptop. But I'm wondering if it's possible to re-add my purchased songs from my itunes account onto itunes?! if so, how many is it possible to do this on, as I will be getting a new laptop in about 4 weeks time. Sorry for the really long question! lol

    Fill out and submit this form to ask for a free redownload or purchase the content again, and when you get the new computer, right-click a song in iTunes, choose Get Info, find its location, copy all the purchased music to the new computer, delete it from the laptop, deauthorize it from the Store menu, and drag the copy on the new computer into the open iTunes window.

  • I Tunes will not ley me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and from a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenevr I try to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. Any suggestions please?

    i Tunes will not let me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and which has a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenever I try to play the songs I receive a message to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. I end up in a mess, changing I-Ds, etc. I have paid an IT company to sort  things out, with some success, but still I keep getting thiese messages. Surely iTunes should be less complex than this. I am not brilliant with IT, but not at all stupid. Any suggestions please?

    Yes, I got that. My question was "are you using the same iTunes account to access music purchased from the Store?" I think your answer is "yes".

    iTunes is not designed to do that. However, this user tip from tt2 may help you recover your music from your iPod, although it's not a simple process: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Ignore any references in the tip to iOS devices, the Classic does not use iOS. The tip has a list of software, including the TouchCopy referred to by tbirdvet that may assist you in recovering your music.

  • How to recover previously purchased songs

    I had previously had an iPod. I used to buy song directly off the iPod. The iPod had never been plugged into a computer. Since then that iPod has been wiped clean. My QUESTION is: is there a way to get those previously purchased songs on my new iPod. When I go onto the iTunes Store it says those old. Songs have been purchased?
