How to Remove DRM Protection from Files on iTunes

However, as users of Apple’s products, we all know that on iTunes these popular movies and songs are protected by DRM，and cannot be played on other devices except on Apple’s products, namely iPod, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV and Mac. So in order to make them playable on other devices, for instance,Blackberry Smartphones and Samsung Galaxy Tab , you have to remove the DRM protection and convert them to relevant  formats supported by those devices. Personally, I like Tune4mac iTunes Video Converter Platinum and Tune4mac M4P Converter for Mac very much because they support many formats  with high output quality and are easy to use. It can help you finish such work with just a few clicks. You can download the trial versions to see whether they are satisfactory to you before placing an order. With these two softwares, I am sure your Christmas will be enriched.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas this year!

Want your kids to stay entertained—and silent this Christmas? We understand, and in an effort to ensure this happens, we’ve combed all the kids’ classics to bring you our picks for the 10 greatest children’s Christmas movies of all time. May they help you bring heavenly peace to your household this holiday season.

The List:

#10 – Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rating: G

This classic made-for-TV Christmas movie premiered in 1964 and it’s been delighting generations of kids ever since.  It tells the story of Rudolph, a reindeer with a nose that lights up. He’s looking for a place where he belongs. Special guest appearances by the Abominable Snowman and the misfit toys make this movie extra-special.

#9 – The Polar Express

Rating: G

When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. Based on the beloved children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg. Rated G. (Recommended for ages 3+)

#8 – Frosty the Snowman

Rating: G

An animated cartoon about Frosty the snowman, who springs to life when the children place a magic hat upon his head. We all know the song, “Frosty the Snowman,” and the upbeat wintery feeling it brings. This wonderful favorite is available on the same DVD as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” (Ages 2+)

#7 – How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Rating: G

Whether you are talking about the most recent version starring Jim Carey or the original 1966 animated classic is the only version that does justice to Dr. Seuss. In it, the Grinch (a non-human Scrooge) tries to ruin Christmas for the Whos in Whoville by stealing their presents, trees, and holiday treats. Of course, the Grinch has a change of heart and finds love and friendship with the Whos.

#6 – A Charlie Brown Christmas

Rating: G

Charlie Brown becomes the director of the school holiday pageant and goes out with Linus to buy an aluminum tree for the show. Instead, they bring back a forlorn real tree. Our hapless hero finds himself dismayed by the rampant commercialization of the holidays and searches for the true meaning of Christmas.

#5 – Home Alone

Rating: PG (mild violence)

It made Macaulay Culkin the biggest child star on the planet, reigned at the box office for 12 straight weeks and grossed $533 million worldwide, but the best thing about this holiday staple is watching an 8-year-old kid toss burglars Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern a good old-fashioned Christmas beat-down.

#4 – The Muppet Christmas Carol

Rating: G

Michael Caine is miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and Kermit the Frog is kindly Bob Cratchit in the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational take on the Dickens tale ever to star 99 percent Muppets.

#3 – Mickey’s Christmas Carol

Rating: G

The DVD Classic Cartoon Favorites, Vol. 9 – Classic Holiday Stories contains several classic animated Disney Christmas holiday shows, including “Mickey’s Christmas Carol.” Honestly, there will never be another adaptation of A Christmas Carol that will ever compare to this one. In this delightful version of the story, Scrooge McDuck learns about the meaning of Christmas from the three Christmas Spirits and makes Bob Cratchit (Mickey) his partner. The film is the perfect length for families, without leaving out any of the important elements of the story. I can’t let a Christmas go by that our family doesn’t watch this one several times. (recommended for all ages) Rated G.

#2 – Miracle on 34th Street

Rating: G

(Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott) Whether the modern version or the original, this tale of a little girl who doesn’t believe and her unlikely friendship with Santa Claus as he goes on trial to determine if he is real reminds us all about the things worth believing.

#1 – Elf (2003)

Rating: PG (mild adult themes)

Frank Ricard. Ron Burgundy. Ricky Bobby. They’re all unforgettable Will Ferrell personas, but the role he might be remembered for most in 50 years is Buddy the Elf (what’s your favorite color?) from ’03′s instant holiday classic. This non-stop laugher exemplifies all-ages entertainment.

There are many websites which provide with very interesting books, but the user experience is not always perfect. Here we are just listing the top 5 websites for free audiobooks.

Lit2Go

Lit2Go is an audiobook project containing both books and poems, and is run by Florida’s Educationsl Technology Clearinghouse. This is a nice collection of fiction books, educational books, poems, short stories and more, which you can browse by author, title, reading level or subject matter.

Each book is available to download as MP3 or PDF, so Lit2Go can be used as an interesting source for eBooks as well. You can also view each book as plain text on a webpage, if you wish to listen on your computer and follow while you read.

Internet Archive

Internet Archive includes, among other things, a sizable collection of audiobooks and poetry. While not the easiest site to browse, you can focus your attention on either regular browsing by title/keyword/subject (no author, for some reason), or check out the right sidebar for a list of the most downloaded audiobooks and some staff picks.

Since the website consolidated several collections, not all books are available in all formats. Some are available as MP3 only, while others are available as Ogg as well. The files are usually for individual chapters, though some books are available as a single download.

The Story Spieler

If Internet Archive seems crowded and confusing, The Story Spieler is one reader who hosts his files on Internet Archive, but also has his own blog where you can browse only his books. The books in The Story Spieler are narrated by a retired TV and radio broadcaster, and his choice of stories is both varied and interesting.

Browse the books using the huge category list which contains everything from history to Rudyard Kipling and from children’s stories to science fiction. Seriously, this guy is diverse. There are lots of books by famous classic authors, and a lot of titles you’ve probably never heard of. The books are available in MP3 format, and files are usually small, as appropriate to blog posts. Longer books are divided into chapters, which you can download individually.

Voices In The Dark

While not being a huge collection, Voice in the Dark is one of those places you can’t help but fall in love with. This is an intriguing collection of mystery, fantasy and poetry, mixed with some legends, fairy tales and much more. All are read by real people and all are available in both low quality and high quality MP3s.

While the whole website seems to have been preserved from the 90′s, the book collection is really interesting, and the readers are very diverse. You can easily browse the collection by genre, title or author. It’s hard to tell if the website is still being updated, but one can hope. This is one truly unique find.

FreeAudioBooks

If you’re looking for something a bit more mainstream, FreeAudioBooks is probably the most classical collection on this list. This is a diverse collection which features many true classics along with children’s stories, lots of non-fiction audios and many more genres to choose from. Whether you’re into plays, biographies or classic humor, you’re going to find it all here.

All files are available in the ZIP format, inside which you’d find a separate MP3 for each chapter.

Do You Want to Convert Protected Audiobooks?

Got some audiobooks with protections, like from iTunes or Audible.com? Well, you came to the right place. You can easily convert your audiobooks to MP3 or AAC with Audiobook Converter for Mac or Audiobook Converter for Windows.

There are hundreds of thousands of audiobooks on Audible. The more books you run through, more puzzled you’ll become. Because many of them are really worth reading but won’t know which ones are better. To help you narrow it down, we’ve picked out the top 5 audiobooks from Audible for you.

No. 1 Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is the hottest biography of 2011. If you haven’t read it yet, try it now. This exclusive biography of Steve Jobs covers the man’s private life and work. Like any great CEO, his fate was strongly connected with Apple’s success. After you read the book, you’ll find another Steve Jobs you never imagined.

No. 2 11-22-63: A Novel

11-22-63 is a great audiobook with a fantastic narrator. A compelling Story that keeps you mesmerized from the first word and won’t let you go. Time travel is not Stephen King’s usual genre, but he has the skill to do a brilliant job in a form that is extremel demanding. If you are a fan of time travel fiction where the history is the focus and not the technology, you will love this.

No. 3 The Litigators

The Litigators is one of Grisham’s better books. The story was certainly entertaining. If you’re a Grisham fan, you’ll enjoy this one. Well developed characters, and the story keeps you glued to the ipod. The narrator has an excellent voice, and did well changing voices. One could feel the emotion of the jury trial and outcome.

No. 4 The Hunger Games

For being targeted at a YA audience, The Hunger Games is surprisingly brutal, but in a good way. There is violence, murder, betrayal, and everything else inherent in a gladiatorial fight to the death. That said, “The Hunger Games” was absolutely riveting. Collins does not pull any punches in saving beloved characters from horror and pain, and she also occasionally pulls the rug out from under your feet. In true series preparation the ending ends on a cliffhanger, making me drool for book number two…

No. 5 V Is for Vengeance

V Is for Vengeance is cleaver and keeps you wondering what the other set of characters are up to while you are hearing about the current set of characters and Judy Kaye has the perfect Kinsey voice. The narration was fantastic.

How to Convert Protected Audible Audiobooks to MP3?

The audiobooks from Audible.com are protected. In order to remove the protection and play them on any devices you like, you can simply convert them to MP3 with Tune4mac iTunes Audio Converter or Noteburner Audiobook Converter.

Malicious threats that destroy and steal your personal information increase every day. Without proper protection, these threats can infect your computer and cause serious harm. While Macs are much less susceptible to malware and other dangerous programs, they are not completely safe. Hackers are now creating viruses and other dangerous programs to target these computing devices.

Besides installing some antivirus software, there are several other steps you should take to keep that one virus from infecting your entire system. Below are a few basic security tips for keeping your Mac and your personal information safe.

Apply new updates and upgrades

Apple has designed the Mac computer so it is easy to view any new updates that are available. It is vital that you keep your security tools updated to protect your computer from any new threat that may be roaming around the cyber world. You can check for updates manually by choosing the Apple menu on the desktop and clicking software update. Your Mac will then find any upgrades that need to download.

Back up your data

When working with both PCs and Macs, you will constantly be advised to back up your data. This is crucial for keeping all of your data safe. This ensures that you have a copy of all your files in case your security is breached or your computer crashes. Mac OS X features a backup program called Time Machine. Once this program is installed properly, your files are automatically backed up and secure. Just make sure to take the time to install Time Machine on your device and check back regularly to ensure that everything is working properly.

Secure your wireless network

Wireless networks provide convenient web access as far as your router can send a signal. Even though this large range makes it possible for you to work and play on your computer in a wide variety of locations, the wide range makes it possible for other individuals to enjoy your wireless network as well. Unfortunately, it is easy for hackers to enter your network and steal your valuable information. When installing your wireless network, make sure you have a secure password. You can even add access control features, which filters who has access to your network.

Use a firewall

A firewall is a great shield in keeping outsiders out. A firewall prevents hackers from accessing files and documents on your Mac. You can find strong firewall protection through many of the Mac antivirus applications available on the market.

Only download from trusted sites

When downloading different applications and software onto your Mac, ask yourself a few questions: Is this content safe? Am I downloading from a trusted source? Is this a sketchy website? There are many different questions you can ask yourself, and if the answer is no to any of the above questions, you are smart to avoid downloading and installing the application onto your computer. Trusted sites can make all the difference in keeping your data safe, and even just one mishap can cause you to lose all your data and other personal information.
