Using purchased music in other software

I have a digital scrapbook program and I can add music. I copied a song off of a CD I own in iTunes and it played well in the program. I just purchased an album from the iTunes store and the songs show up for selection in the software but are grayed out. Is there some iTunes trick I need to learn. I am using a Macbook with iTunes 8. The soft ware program is called Memory Mixer. Help I love the music and want it to be background for my digital scrapbook. Janet

Thank you Chris. I wish I had known that before I downloaded from the iTunes store. Now I will need to go and buy the CD as it has the music I want. Live and learn is my story on the computer. Again thank you for the prompt and informative reply. Janet

  • Unable to use purchased music in other iLife programs

    I am trying to use an iTunes purchased song in an iPhoto slideshow. When I do I get an error message saying that this computer is not authorised to play this music. The computer in fact is authorised and iTunes plays the music fine. I have repeatedly tried re-authorising to no avail. I have encountered the same problem in iDVD. Am I not able to use a purchased song in other iLife programs? Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Burn the purchased music out to an AUDIO cd, then reimport in any format you like. The reimported version should work fine with your other iLife projects. This is a common problem when trying to use purchased iTMS tunes in iMovie and iDVD.

  • Purchasing music from other sites

    I have tried to purchase music from other sites such as Tesco Music. In all cases they all require Internet Explorer! Having just switched from a Windows bases pc to an iMac I do not wish to go backwards. How can I buy music from other than iTunes?

    If you are referring to Tesco's digital downloads, those are available only in copy-protected Windows Media format and cannot be played on a Mac. Other than the iTunes Store, only those download stores offering tracks in MP3 are Mac-compatible. I'm not sure if there are any available from the UK yet that are carrying major-label content.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • IPhoto quits when using purchased music from iTunes!

    I am trying to put together a slideshow for a funeral tomorrow. I have created the slideshow and a new playlist in iTunes with the music the people want. However, if I use songs I have loaded on my mac from cd everything works great, if I attempt to use songs purchased through iTunes, iPhoto quits unexpectedly....shoot me in the face now! Please help......

    Run Software Update to make sure you have the lastest version of Quicktime.
    How are you going to show this slideshow? You know that you won't be able to burn it to disk if you use Protected Music?

  • Using purchased music in photo dvd.

    Hello,
    I have some music marked "*protected AAC*" and some marked "*Purchased AA..*" and I am not sure what this means.
    However, I did find that I could only use "Purchased AA...." if I wanted to export the music to a dvd of photographs.
    NOW, I don't seem to be able find the ability to purchase the right to use the music elsewhere. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to once more purchase this right????
    I think it might have something to do with DRM which I don't understand nor know whether I need it or not!?
    Thanks,
    David

    "protected AAC" and some marked "Purchased AAC." and I am not sure what this means.
    Protected means that the track has copy protection. Such tracks usually can be used in a DVD via iDVD if the version of iDVD you have is current, but problems often arise if the version of iDVD is older. If you continue to have problems, you might try asking in the iDVD forum.
    I don't seem to be able find the ability to purchase the right to use the music elsewhere.
    Tracks purchased from the iTunes Store, whether copy-protected or not, are for your personal use only. If this DVD you're trying to create would be for your own use, that would be OK, but you would not be allowed to give it to anyone else (the same applies even to tracks imported from CD without acquiring a license from the record company specifically for the purpose).
    Regards.

  • Using Purchased Music from iTunes in a published slideshow

    I made a slideshow on iPhoto and added a iTunes song I purchased from Apple's iTunes store. I then, published this show on my .Mac homepage, but when my family attempted to view it, they were prompted to submit a password to listen to the music. Does anyone have ideas about how to get around this issue? If this is the use policy, why would I continue to purchase music on Apple's iTunes Store if I can use it for my personal purposes.
    Thanks, Bill

    You did not buy the song, you 'bought' the right to play that song on 5 computers at the same time.
    Read this article for an explanation.
    That's the deal between Apple and the right holders.
    The workaround is to burn purchased tracks on Audio CD and re-import them.

  • Transfer Music with other software! Please help

    I was reading one of the FAQ from nomadness.net and they said that if you have connection problem with Zen then you could try some other transfer software such as Windows Media Player. Does anyone know how to transfer music with these other software to a Zen Micro player?

    I don't find the Windows Media Player or the Creative Players to be very easy to use, at least for me. Am using the Real Player and find it is great to use for my Zen Micro 5GB and Zen Xtra 30GB. You can go to www.real.com and download their free basic player. Go to the burn/transfer page and it will prompt you to add your Zen Micro to the list of devices. The learning curve seems to be very short for this player.
    Best wishes.

  • N95 Using multimedia keys with other software?

    Some programs require using the landscape mode with both hands so is it possible somehow to use those multimedia keys in other softwares? They seem to not recognize them.
    If not, does someone know any program which could create a mirror button from them? Like you could set the number "3" to do the same action as "play" button.

    Which applications do you mean. Still not quite sure what you want to do.
    I have added additional applications to the Multi-media menu, but you activate it normally via pressing the MM key and then cycling through the menu list.

  • How many computers can you use purchased music on??

    Hi all, I'd really appreciate an answer to this question...
    I was told by a friend who uses itunes that when you make a purchase from the itunes store you can play the tracks on up to three computers. Is this true? If so, how do you transfer music files from one PC to another? When I login to my itunes acct it says the purchases I make can only be played on this computer. There are 2 ipods in my household and we'd like to share some purchases. Is this possible? Thanks in advance!

    Is this true?
    Five simultaneously, except for iTunes Plus content, which is unlimited.
    If so, how do you transfer music files from one PC to another?
    The same way you would any other type of file, followed by dragging it into the open iTunes window. A file can be found by right-clicking it and getting info, unless it's a rented movie.

  • Using purchased music with imovie/idvd

    Apologies if this has been answered...these threads get too long to look back and back. Haven't used imovie/ idvd much since 2003-4-- so the copy protection measures on the latest version look very restrictive. Do I have this right: I make a slide show or movie via imovie-- I use music from a song purchased via the itunes store, I burn the slide show/movie to a dvd/ I give the dvd to 6 relatives, i.e. not for commercial use... and could it be that the dvd will not play with music unless I authorize their computers? In other words what exactly does that message mean than pops up that says the file won't play the music on another computer, unless it's authorized. Will it play on a burnt dvd, played on a TV?

    I burn the slide show/movie to a dvd/ I give the dvd to 6 relatives, i.e. not for commercial use...
    It's not legal, even though you're not charging for the DVD (copyright laws apply even when there's no commercial gain involved, hence the many suits the RIAA has filed against people sharing via Limewire and other P2P networks). Music you purchase, whether from the iTunes Store or via CD, is for your personal use and cannot be given away. If you want to create a video or slide show that you're going to give away, either obtain royalty-free music - there are a number of web sites where you can obtain such tracks - or create your own using GarageBand or a similar music creation package.

  • How to use purchased music from itunes as ringtone

    Trying to use music from my songs as ringtones, could do it on 4 don't know how to do it on 5s.  Does anyone know?  Please help..

    If you are using the latest version of iTunes (4.6), then you need to make sure your ipod software is up to date also.
    When you have done this, authorize your music in iTunes by playing a few seconds of it, and it should transfer by whatever synching method you choose.
    Get the latest updates here.
    If you have done all this and still can't transfer it, post back with more info about what is happening.
    EDIT.
    Grrrr......must learn to type faster!
