![]() ![]() Step One: Completely Uninstall Newer Versions of iTunes (If Necessary) If that’s what you’re doing, feel free to skip step one below. There’s just a lot less than can go wrong. Starting clean means you’ll need to re-download and authorize any videos you want to convert, but it prevents you from messing up an active iTunes installation.įor simplicity, we recommend you set up iTunes 10.7 on a machine that you otherwise don’t use iTunes on, virtual or otherwise. You can install iTunes 10.7 on a computer that you don’t normally use iTunes on, or set up a virtual machine specifically for stripping DRM from videos.It’s also a very bad idea if you’re an iPhone or iPad user, because older versions of iTunes cannot sync with newer versions of iOS. If you’ve spent a lot of time tweaking your iTunes setup, and don’t want to lose anything, this approach is not recommended. You can completely uninstall iTunes from your computer, then install the ancient iTunes 10.7.There are two approaches you can take to set up iTunes 10.7: The catch: it hasn’t been maintained for a while, and only works with iTunes 10.7, which was released back in 2012. Requiem is a free, Java-based application capable of removing Fairplay DRM from iTunes videos. So if you really care about audio quality, make sure you’re using the 5.1 Dolby Digital track, not the 2-channel AAC track-or use the Requiem method below for stereo tracks. However, if your video comes with an stereo AAC track too-or only comes with an stereo AAC track-Tuneskit does convert that audio track, from what we can tell, which will result in a small (unnoticeable to most) loss in audio quality. There is one small thing to note: Tuneskit’s DRM stripping is lossless for video and 5.1 audio, which means you won’t lose any quality. You should find that they work swimmingly.Ĭongratulations! You’ve removed the DRM from your iTunes video, and can now watch it wherever you like. To ensure the process worked, try playing the videos in a non-iTunes video player.

In the case where the default folder path has been changed (being used on an external hard drive), then you will need to tell VirtualDJ where that location is. Make sure that VirtualDJ knows the location of your iTunes folder In most cases, the iTunes folder will remain in it's default location and VirtualDJ will automatically see it. It will generate the XML file required by VirtualDJ and you will then be able to launch the software to have complete access to your iTunes Library. To correct this go to Preferences Advanced and ensure that Share iTunes Library XML with other applications is checked. In iTunes 12, this xml file is not shared by default and may cause your iTunes library to not be read by VDJ. Make sure that iTunes is set to share it's library VirtualDJ uses the iTunes Library.xml file to read your iTunes database. This will display any folders that you have hidden. Make sure iTunes is a visible folder in VirtualDJ Option 1: In the case where you may have accidentally hidden the iTunes root folder, right-click the Local Music folder and select Show: iTunes Option 2: Go to the lower right hand corner and click the dot (Browser Options) above the Font Resizer.
