    Apple Books and DRM

    Over past few years I've been buying ebooks outside Apple garden. To keep things organized I was importing those books to Apple Books. All books I bought were DRM free. Recently I wanted to export all books I got from 3rd party bookstores and move to Linux. Guess what? All my books bought...

    Apple Music Transfer Music / iTunes Library to New Mac?

    My iTunes/Apple Music library of a few thousand tracks is a mixture of matched AAC and MP3 tracks in a mixture of bit rates from 128kbps to ALAC. I'm getting a new Mac mini tomorrow, which will serve as my main Mac and will hold the definitive local copy of my music library. What's the best way...

    iPod iPod shuffle 4th Gen and new music

    Hello. I’ve treasured an iPod Shuffle (4th Gen, Gold, 2GB) for a special occasion… and the time has come. I’m facing the following problem: I want to put three (3) songs onto this iPod, and I’ve created a special playlist containing them. One of them was ancient (actually, all three of them...

    Some apps requiring iCloud login (seemingly to verify purchase) upon open

    I'm having this issue with a couple different apps so I'm trying to pinpoint who's to blame: the apps, my iPad, or something with my iCloud account. Basically when I open some apps (specifically I'm noticing it with Touchable Pro and Beatmaker 3 on my iPad, pretty much every time I open them)...

    Books on iOS 12 (Issues with Design)

    Just looking to vent a little bit. Some of you may agree with me, but the majority of you will probably think I'm making mountains out of molehills. That's okay. Does anyone else find it troublesome that the Books app in iOS 12 conflates the Library and Bookstore functions? The last few...

    Apple Music tracks disappearing from library

    Hello all Not a happy Apple Music subscriber today. Again one of the tracks I have added to my library decided it wouldn't play. Once again it seems the track has been pulled from the streaming service, and I am left without the ability to play the track. And no the song was not in the iTunes...

    What app will remove DRM from iTunes files?

    I have some movies and tv shows that I bought from iTunes and I would like to strip the DRM so that I can add it to my Plex Media Server. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this? I've tried Tuneskit but it doesn't seem to work in Mac OS Mojave.

    How to remove DRM from .wma files?

    Hello, About 15 years ago I recorded a bunch of songs with an old band of mine. I still have the files, but they are .wma format. The problem is that at some point, Microsoft put DRM protection on these files, even though they're my own songs. Now I'm trying to convert them because they're...

    BBC Store closing: all content lost?

    I just got an email from the "BBC Store" saying they are closing on 1 Nov 2017, and "any programmes you own will still be available to watch until then...". Another DRM disaster, as presumably anything anyone bought on their store is going to be completely unplayable after November, thus money...

    DRM on iTunes movies

    Hi, Since few years, Apple decided to remove the DRM on iTunes music. This was the trigger for me to move from CDs to Digital for the music. I'm now looking at the video. I've hundreds of DVDs and because of HD and space (in the house) saving, I really think about moving to digitalized movies...
