  • Old music files with DRM protection

    I have some old music files with DRM protection.  I don't see an option to pay for an upgrade so I can get DRM-free files.  Is there a way to do that?  I keep reading posts about iTunes Plus but they're all old posts so I assume that option is gone.  Thanks!

    It is back from time to time.  Keep watching under quick links

  • I am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?, i am trying to recover lost music from my I tunes library, is there any way i can sync from my I pod to my I tunes?

    I an trying to recover lost music that was in my I tunes library.
    I now have more music on my I pod nano and want to sync this collection back to the I tunes library. Is this possiable ?
    If not, can anyone give me a hint, other than the ones on the I tunes tutorial ( none of these have worked ) how I can get my music back

    Yes it's possible to sync music back from a iPod back into iTunes that (I assume) wasn't purchased on the iTunes Store.
    Apple allows iTunes Store purchases on devices to be reversed back into iTunes, just not cd rips and stuff like that. For that it's a one way trip to the device from iTunes.
    I likely can't suggest such software here, but if you visit iLounge you can ask what is the latest software that works for your platform.
    Really it only takes a mere few minutes to backup your iTunes Library and stick in a few cd/dvd's or a external drive. iTunes even has a menu command for it to make it oh so simple. Please use it and backup all your data.
    Hard drives fail, computers burn up, thieves steal, stuff gets forgotten. Plan for something happening because it will.
    Good Luck

  • Syncing new computer with old music files with Iphone.

    Hello all, recently I got a new computer and transfered all my old music files over and updated my itunes on my new pc. I also de-authorized my old pc and authorized my new pc. However, when I plug in my Iphone into my new computer it doesn't seem to be syncing at all. I've also added a new album to my music files on my new pc and since my iphone isn't syncing, the songs haven't shown up on my phone. I was wondering does anyone have a solution to this? or what I need to do to have my new pc syncing with my iphone?
    Thanks.

    Can someone help here?

  • I/O error trying to open old AW files

    I have hundreds of old Appleworks files from an older version (5.0) and when I try to open them with my new Intel based iMac using Appleworks 6.2.9 it says
    " An I/O error occurred".
    All I'm trying to do is open the file - not print or anything else. I can't figure it out.
    Need help.

    Yvan Koenig has said he has some AppleWorks 5 files fail to open in AppleWorks 6 with the I/O error. I've never had a problem opening any AppleWorks 5 files whether they were created on a Mac or PC.
    Are you sure that some of these files aren't ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files? AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files & gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6.
    I'm not clear if it's one file or all of the files you can't open. If it's just one or a few, I'd think there is some corruption in the file. If it's a lot (more than half) & you're sure they are AppleWorks 5 files, some basic troubleshooting might help.
    First step, delete the AppleWorks 6 preferences as they may be corrupt, particularly the translator cache. See my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for more info.
    Did you move these files from one Mac to another using a USB flash drive or other removable device? If the device is PC-formatted, some information in the files may have been lost in the transfer. Another user tip addresses this problem - AppleWorks 6 won't open my AW 5 files.
    I'd be willing to take a look at two or three of these problem files for you & see if I can figure out where the problem is. E-mail them to me with a subject line of "I/O errors." Just click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section.

  • Trying to open old logic files.

    I have Logic Pro 9.1.6. It works fine. I am trying to open old files and understand I need to save them in Logic 7 first. I have L7 installed on a separate disk with OS10.4.11. When I startup with that disk I can't launch Logic 7 because it  does not recognize the usbKey. Any help?
    Thanks

  • How can I transfer my old music files to my new iPod using a different computer from that used on the old iPod?

    I got a brand new iPod and wanted to put the music files on my old iPod to the new one. In addition to this I would like to know how to sync my new iPod to a different computer from that of the old one. Is it possible for me to accomplish all this with music rescue?

    Put everything on one computer and sync to that computer.

  • Old music file needing to be organized

    Recently I had all my old WMA files converted to MPEG, but to my chagrin they are all now in one great big "unknown" album - 2.9 days, 4.82 GB - with nothing more than the name of the song & it's individual length in time. Bummer ... I haven't a clue who's singing or on what album ... this makes it really difficult to try to reorganize them back to individual albums & artists.
    I have a friend who's got a iPhone ... now we're out eating and I said "who's that singing" in reference to the background music? She grabs her phone, holds it up toward the speaker, and next thing I know she's telling me that's the Moody Blues and the song's name and anything else I needed to know.
    Cool ... but what I need to know "Is there a way that I can do this with all this music I have on my computer and not a clue as to the artist singing or what album it was on?"
    Thanks for the help,
    JD

    I had a tech out to the house and I am not sure what application he used. I will find out and about the ID3 tags. And I have not been able to find the wma files anywhere. I've got to go to work, but will do some research & post later. Thanks.

  • Preview hangs while trying to open old multiple files

    Hello Everyone!
    After restarting my Macbook Pro, I opened Preview, it showed all the files I was using  before closing it, but it was frozen. I checked the errors on the Console:
    11/09/12 20:19:55,726 Preview[909]: SCNetworkReachability server not available
    11/09/12 20:19:55,726 Preview[909]: SCNetworkReachability server not available

    11/09/12 20:19:59,721 sandboxd[914]: ([909]) Preview(909) deny system-socket
    I researched a bit on the community, but the solution involved moving the com.apple.Preview.plist, and there was no such file in the Preferences folder, I tried searching with the terminal: ls Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist. But there were no results. I couldn't find the .plist files involving the Preview app. I checked opening the app with the Guest User and it works just fine. The problem could be solved if there was a way to eliminate the history and clear the cache of Preview, so that it'd a fresh start. I also tried looking for the cache files involving the Preview app, but there were none.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    I have solved the issue. Since I couldn't find the files itself, I tried writing the defaults in terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments {}
    defaults write com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList RecentDocuments ""
    Those commands did not solve the issue right away, but after restarting the Macbook, I was able to access Preview again.

  • IPod Classic won't turn on due to water damage, is there somewhere I can take it to recover the music files on it since they're not saved on my computer?

    Please help, will lose thousands of songs if I can't save music files or turn on iPod, it's an iPod Classic Video.

    If I'm reading your post correctly, you mean your iPod is not waking up from sleep properly?  If your iPod's controls aren't functioning correctly, a software restore on your iPod is the recommended course of action, though doing so will wipe the contents of the iPod and requires a resync to your library.
    Could you elaborate further on what the exact problem is, when it happens, what you're doing as a result, etc?  Does it still play music when it's asleep? Does it wake up when plugged in to your computer or dock?  All of this information can help us pinpoint the problem and offer a better solution.

  • Trying to open a music file and I get the message "cannot open this song until the latest version is in use" (or words to that effect) - but we are using the latest version we have ever had, and the song was created using that version !!! Help !

    Hi, hope someone can help me.
    I created a music file in my current version of Garageband (2.0.2) but when I try to open the file I am told that I must get the current version of Garageband ?!
    Anyone have any ideas why this is happening ?!
    Thanks.
    Paul

    What have you done, directly before this problem happened? Have you installed any other software, upgraded software, restored your system from a backup?
    The error message can occur, if you have two versions of GarageBand, and now your Dock icon links to the wrong version of the program. Search your Mac for other versions of GarageBand. If you find another installation, check if the version is newer, then use that to open your file.
    Another reason may be, that your current GarageBand Application is corrupted. To check that, try to launch GarageBand from a different User account - if you do not have one, create a new account from the System Preferences > Users and Groups panel (this panel might have been called something else in 10.4.11, sorry, I am using 10.8.2 now).
    If GarageBand also does not launch from this account, reinstall GarageBand from your installation Media and upgrade - a link to the upgrade is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL454

  • Trying to transfer old macbook files to new

    I have been searching everywhere for an answer to my problem for hours, with no luck, so please forgive me for posting a new topic about it if it really is out there somewhere.
    Here's the situation:
    I have a white 13 in MacBook from late 07, my children spilled water on it & fried the power management components, repair is $780 (quoted from Apple). Needless to say, I'm not paying that kind of $ to save my almost 4 year old mac when my husband has a 1 yr old aluminum mac that is virtually unused. I have all the data from my white mac on a WD MyBook for Mac external drive. Thankfully I was able to get it completely backed up before the power component totally failed. I didn't use Time Machine to do the backup, because it was stalling & I was worried the mac wouldn't stay powered long enough, so I used WD's Smartware backup software. My husband's aluminum mac is also backed up on the MyBook.
    How do I transfer my backup to my husband's macbook? Whenever I have tried retrieving the backup from my mac it asks if i want to overwrite my husband's mac's info. Does this mean that basically I can't merge both of our backups onto the same mac? I have tried using the Migration Assistant to transfer, but the only backup that shows up is my husbands. My backup is showing up on the WD Software and I have copied a couple of files onto my husbands macbook, but I'm not tech savvy enough to know where to copy everything manually (itunes, photos, library, etc).
    My MacBook contained all our music, photos, documents so it is imperative that I be able to transfer my info to my husbands macbook. I would appreciate and help you all can give me because I am at a loss at what to do.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think the only way Migration Assistant can do a restore is either from Time Machine, or a clone backup, or the actual original bootable copy. If the Western Digital backup is not a clone or an Apple recognizable format, it won't work. I would contact Western Digital to verify what format the backup is in.
