If you mean protected iTunes music from the iTS, then you can burn CDs and re-rip, or use DRM Dumpster.
If it's tracks you've ripped yourself into AAC format, you can use iTunes to convert them back (but you'll lose a bit of quality in the process).
In iTunes Preferences go to Advanced > Importing and change Import using: to MP3, and click OK. Then right-click on any tracks and choose Convert selection to MP3 from the pop-up.

and upon starting it up it asks me if i want to transfer my stuff off my old G4 onto it using a firewire cable.
i dont have a firewire cable
but i also dont have any patience
so i skipped that step and continued setting it up
ive now bought a firewire cable
how do i transfer my files from the G4 onto the macbook?

Turn your old computer off, plug the firewire cable between the two, restart the old computer whilst holding down the T key. A big firewire logo will appear on its screen and all its hard drives will mount on the Desktop of your new Mac as removable external hard disks.
You can then copy files as you wish.
Be aware that some old PowerPC apps and files may not be (fully) compatible with your new Intel laptop.
You'll also have to be careful when overwriting existing preferences etc.
You could try running the Migration Assistant, and see what that does. |

ok ive done the apple T thingy and im transferring all my music across but instead of up to 400mb/s im only getting like 500kb/s....is there any reason for this?
i thought it would transfer alot faster yeah?
also another pain in the ass is im always getting a popup asking for a keychain password....i just press cancel and it goes back to normal but its annoying nearly every site i go onto it asks for a keychain password....i dont even know what keychain is....how do i turn it off?

In theory your Firewire transfer should be faster than that... not sure why its not.
The Keychain password is a 'master' password which allows applications access to other passwords stored in your Mac's Keychain. i.e. web-site passwords etc.
Basically it means you only have to remember one password instead of hundreds, and the browser will auto-fill the proper password for a site.
Instead of cancelling it, just enter your password when asked, then you won't have to do it again.
If you load the "Keychain Access" program you can change the delay before your Keychain is 'locked' and you are asked for its password again. Its a security feature.

maybe because its an 8 year old computer and the firewire probable hasnt been used for several years it just doesnt want to work as well as it could

Jools, im after a mac on a limited 14 year olds budget. Been looking at iBooks but they have a 1.33Ghz processor which must be slower than my old Win2k Machine with its P4 processor musn't it?
Are they anygood now? I dont really need a large HDD, and only use my PC for msn, internet and music.
WHat you thinking?
Im not fussed about phones/gadgets no more. If im online im in the Non-Mobile discussion  |

1.33Ghz is becoming a little slow now, but it depends what you want to do with it. My current Mac is only 1.25Ghz PowerPC CPU and I use it everyday for web browsing, email, making web-sites and a bit of video editing. It's good for that, if not blindingly fast.
iBooks still run on the older PowerPC processors, so you'll never get the performance of the newer Intel-based Macs.
What's your budget?
Have you looked at the Mac mini?
If you've already got a monitor and USB keyboard & mouse you can get one brand new for less than £400 (cheaper if you buy from the online AppleStore and use a discount voucher). They currently start with a 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo processor.
As a student you can also get Student Discount:
