Why is not it possible to purchase music using iTunes 6.x anymore?

Until two weeks ago, I was perfectly able to access and purchase songs using the last version of iTunes 6. Now however, I'm told I must use iTunes 7.x to make any purchases and downloads (these are not iTunes Plus tracks). Why is this?
I don't run iTunes 7.x installed on my machine since it runs like an absolute pig and takes several minutes to launch; there's nothing special about the tracks I'm trying to purchase and download, so I don't know why the sudden removal of access?

I was just curious as to why any changes (regarding iTS purchases) via Software Update couldn't suffice.
Well there was a software update to iTunes just a day or so ago. I can't tell you why they don't detail DRM updates, but my guess is twofold
1) The majority of people are running the most current version of iTunes.
2) Contractually, they can't disclose the details of the DRM and it's updates.

  • HT1727 Transferring Purchased Music Using iTunes

    My last laptop crashed and is no longer be used. How do I go aout transferring my purchased muscic to my new laptop using iTunes? I can not access my old laptop to transfer over the songs, or else I would have already.

    If you download iTunes on your new laptop , you can sign in your account from iTunes and go in you account and re-download all your purchased songs with no extra charges since now iTunes keep a record of your past purchases.
    If you purchased 400 songs in the past , you can now get them again. Of course make sure you authorize your iTunes to this new laptop. 

  • IPod won't play purchased music from iTunes

    I cannot figure out why my iPod mini skips over purchased music from iTunes. I looked at the files and they are .mp4 & there is a little lock symbol on the file. Someone help! I have already dowloaded the latest updates and nothing has changed...

    I have the same problem as others mentioned here. I just updated my mini to 1.4, and iTunes to 6.0. Just purchased an album and went to play it and all the songs were just skipped over by my mini. Then checked and the same happens for all purchased music.
    I then check in iTunes and everything plays fine there. Then uploaded the songs to my 40GB and everything plays fine on the 40GB. I recently updated the 40GB to the latest firmware as well.
    The mini plays all other music just fine.

  • Purchased music in iTunes but not sync'd to iPhone music player

    I can log into iTunes, view all my music including purchased music in iTunes, but the music is not sync'd to my iPhone. All other sync'd applications including MS Calendar, Comcast mail account, pictues, etc worked just fine. Why is the music sync feature not working with my new phone??

    In order to sync music or videos to our iphone, it has to exist in your Library and not just under the itunes store. If the music does not show up in the library section, click on store at the top of itunes and check for purchases.
    If it comes back with a message that all purchases are downloaded, you will need to log into your itunes store account and go to purchase history to report a problem with the particular items purchased.
    To log into your itunes store account and view purchase history:
    Open the iTunes store and click on your email address in the upper right corner.
    Enter your password and choose view account in the window that pops up.
    When your account opens you will see a button to view purchase history.
    In purchase history you can report a problem for any item purchased.

    When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
    Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • I tried to purchase music at iTunes with the iTunes card I was given. I was able to redeem the amount and it shows on my apple Id I have $25 but it does not pay my purchase it will still go to my credit card and bill it. It did not give an option.

    If you were instructed to call them, then that's what you should do. They will probably need to verify your identity before helping you with the security question.

  • I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address.  How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

  • Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store"

    Since downloading iOS 7, I have been having trouble purchasing music from iTunes Store. When ever I try to make a purchase I always get the message "Your account    is not valid in the US  store" As I am new at this I don't know what I can do to remove this problem.

    What country are you in ? If you aren't in the US and the address on your account isn't in the US then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select your country.

  • HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac.  is there a fix for this?

    i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open.  how do i get it back?? 

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

  • Purchased music in Itunes and it did not download anything but the titles of the songs.

    purchased music in Itunes and it did not download anything but the titles. I cannot find where I can get support to get my purchase fixed. IThis is the most frustrating support system ever.
    Where can I get support?

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading (if there is an complete download of the track listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete it from there before it will get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading) ?
    If you can't download it via either of the above then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
