hey guys so i recently bought some tv shows on itunes and thought that i could put them on my phone to watch sumtimes. but i found out that itunes had copyrighted them and i dont know how to convert them or take the copyright off. does anyone know how i would be able to do this since i bought them fair and square?

ask big brother. er, @pple.

I believe (someone can back me up) anything you download from iTunes comes locked so you can use them else where. I believe there is a program that you can use to unlock these files.

I could be wrong tho. I know all of my files that I have downloaded from iTunes has a little locked next to it.

do you know what that program would be or where i could look?

I will see if I can find it again. It took me like 3 hours of searching at work one day to find it.

not only is itunes material in a proprietary format, it is also laced with DRM (Digital Rights Management). those are just two of the reasons itunes will never see a penny from me.

there are ways around this, of course, but their legality (or lack thereof) makes discussion of them frowned upon in most forums. see what you can find on google.

One reason why is because the file from iTunes is downloaded as MP4 not MP3. I think I found one.

Dirty, somebody posted something about this in the past week. Either burning a CD first and moving the music over from there, and a program from Finland or somewhere that does what you want.

I don't know, but you're a big boy and can search the board for iTunes in the past week and probably find the answer.

Give this link a try. If I find some more I will post on this post under this first link.

To late I think I just gave him the link. Oh well next time he can search button himself.

jeez buddy chill its ok if i ask for help on sumthing that i cant find. thats a huge part of why forums are here to discuss and help people. ou guys act as though its a huge deal to ou if someone asks for help with something. most the time u guys are like " omg aghhh i cant believe your asking this your a big boy search yourself, now you completely ruined my day because i had to post this to tell you to search for yourself."
jeez buddy get a life. its not the end of the world if i aask for help on sumthing i already researched but came to a dead end.

Check the link I posted for you.

Post #9.

i did but it seems that there talkign about songs. i have videos that i bought.

Man, I just can't understand how people can take a little ribbing so personally. Nobody damned you eyes.

Dirty, these guys actually provided a you with a bunch of useful information - and took it pretty easy on you. You should see the trash-talking Galvatron gets.

Anyway, a closed, carefully locked box is what you get when you're buying anything from Apple. Be careful with the warez sites that you'll find cracks on. They're full of trojans and viruses.

I thought you were talking about both.

Dirty, I told you exactly what to look for, I read here within the past few days. Don't exaggerate what i said to make yourself look like some victim, you are not.

Enjoy, good luck.
