Why can't I use music I bought through itunes in my movie project?

I sent my movie to idvd, then attempted to add some itunes purchased music to the menu screen. I dragged it from th itunes folder in media browser and dropped it in the menu screen on the map window. The title of the song appears (I had the green + symbol on my cursor as I dropped it), all should be good, right? Wrong; it won't play when I preview it. Someone suggested I burn the track to a cd in .aiff format, then I can use it. Why?? I don't use cds anymore, and I don't want to burn one song to a cd; I shouldn't have to

Hi
If You made an Audio-CD with .aiff files - not .mp3 or other. And this still do not work then I guess that iDVD pref file got corrupted and needs to be trashed (iDVD will make a new error free one on next start-up)
Else
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref. file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try (much better way to test)
iDVD pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences (Not Library on Root level)
and is named.
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
To work OK I prefer FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem ! ! Finally ! !
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

    How can I use my Apple ID in iTunes with out credit card?

    For me it's the same, I've just bought an iPad mini two weeks ago but I cannot log in with any Apple account in FaceTime.
    I enter my apple account in faceTime, then I press next the second screen and it shows "validating..." but it never gets validated.
    What's happening? This is really annoying

  • Can't Get My Music I Bought From iTunes 10.3

    How Come A Can't Re-download any Of My Track I Bought In iTunes 10.3 Only See app And iBooks. No Music Tab. Im Running iTunes 10.3 64-Bit On Window

    It's currently in beta and only available to users in the US at the moment.  The apps should work fine though.  You also need iOS 4.3.3 on your device.

  • HT201209 Why can't i use my money in my itunes account?

    I entered my new iTunes gift card into the iTunes store and once i go to use it, it asks for my credit card billing information. Do i need to fill that out to be able to use the card?

    Gift cards are country-specific, so US gift cards can only be used in the US on US-based iTunes accounts. Do you know anybody in the US that you could sell or give the card to ?

  • ICloud and music not bought through iTunes

    I have a giant CD collection that I digitized into iTubes: its by far the bulk of my iTunes library. Will iCloud allow me to store that music in teh cloud, or only music bought and downloaded via iTunes?

    "I guess I had hoped the cloud would extend the same convenience of use to non-itunes-purchased music."
    It is just as easy. iTunes match will scan you library of non-iTunes purchases.
    This is so you do not need to upload them to the cloud.
    "The whole point is easy synchronization across my multiple digital devices."
    Exactly!
    "And of course i don't NEED to upload my collection, but I sure would like to be able to, simply and reasonably because I like to listen to my music."
    And? This is the point of iCloud and iTunes match. iTunes match means you do not have to upload much of your music because it is already available on the iCloud/iTunes servers. Why have millions of people upload the exact same song, millions of times? It
    "My original question was about whether or not I CAN upload my own music. Can I?"
    This question was already answered, yes.
    But you don't need to, because most of your music will already be on the iCloud/iTunes servers.
    "The cloud isn't about need anyway, really, nor is an iPad or iPod or any of it:"
    What?

  • Hi people, i would like to know if i can transfer my music i bought through itunes on my iphone 3gs to my ipad 2 without the use of another pc or mac? any help greatly appreciated

    .

    If you are in the USA and you have iOS 4.3.3+ on your iPad then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If not in the USA (or you havn't updated your iPad's iOS to 4.3.3+) , then no, you will need to go via your computer's iTunes.

  • This is not really a question but just a highlight. I have been for 20 minutes on the phone through the express lane support and I have been told that iCloud DO NOT stores music or video and cannot be used to pushes any music you bought through iTunes !

    I have been amazed from the Express Lane support. I have been asking information about how to store/push my iTunes music in the iCloud. The answer has been that iCloud DO NOT stores you iTunes music at all !!!!! Is this real ?
    I am Mobileme user since the beginning and just bought OS X Lion and all necessary software to maximise the use of iCloud and now I have to discover that what has been advertised for months on the web is just ballsheets.

    Wow!  It took you 3 week to come up with that ridiculous response?
    Since I don't have access to the 11/13 web pages (my time machine is out of order), I can't provide that.  However you know full well that iTunes Match has been live for the last 3 weeks, and it isn't "ballsheets."
    As far as the "gift you may have to spend too much time on internet", it took you far longer to compose and post your whining rant that it would have if you just searched it with Google and got your own answer...

  • Why can't I use Apple Pay to purchase iTunes apps?

    nfm

    It's not designed for that. It's for physical retail purchases where you go somewhere and buy things and can wave your iPhone over a terminal.
    The iTunes Store uses a saved credit card or other payment method, as does Apple Pay for that matter.

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.
