iTunes TV Shows / Movies / Music

  • Get Some
    Don't ask me how, but somehow I stumbled upon a whole bunch of iTunes TV Shows (Dexter, The Office, It's Always Sunny, etc.), iTunes Movies (Hurtlocker, etc.) and iTunes Music on my company's internal server. Basically, I was searching for "large files" on what I thought was limited to my C: drive, but ended up finding large files (like TV Shows and Movies) in other Network Locations. [Sorry... no home videos -- that I can tell.]

    I tried playing the TV Shows and Movies using Windows Media Player (they're MP4 Video types), but was unable. I then tried QuickTime player, and that didn't work either. I then tried using iTunes, and I discovered the Apple ID account email address (didn't recognize the email address) that the files belonged to.

    Anyway, I was wondering, if it's possible to add the files to my iTunes Apple ID? NOTE: I'm not trying to screw over the other person (i.e., I don't want them to not be able to access/play their files); I was just wondering if it's possible to copy them & add them to my account?

    I don't think this is possible. When I tried to combine music my wife had bought on itunes to my itunes it would ask me for her password whenever I tried to play the song.

    Yep. That's exactly what I'm getting to. It's essentially asking me for this person's password (which obviously I don't know). I was just curious if there was a way of "breaking" that relationship and "adding" it to my Apple ID. I'm sure it can be done, but maybe not in an "easy" / "user-friendly" way.

    And I think marriage should get another perk to go with tax breaks...shared iTunes libraries.

    It allows me and my fiancé to share an iTunes library since we both registered our iPhones on the same computer

    No, this is how DRM works and why iTunes is a piece of shit.

    No disagreement there.

    Speaking of iTunes, I ended up winning some giftcard. Only $10, but need some ideas on what to spend it on. Dont want to spend it on movies and music when I can get those for free.
