Requiem 4.1 - Remove iTunes DRM (FairPlay) from music, video and books

Can't wait to use this, but getting an error because I'm on iTunes 11.0.2. Any chance that Requiem will be updated to accommodate this version of the library?

 

REquiem 4 and Itunes10.7

Requiem simply does not work, even when reverting to iTunes 10.7 which I did. Requiem doesn't find any DRM to remove from my books in my iTunes Library, so it's hopeless. And there ARE books protected by Apple's special DRM (they clearly appear as such when I "get info".
Did anybody manage to make Requiem work?
System : Mac OS 10.6.8
Itunes 10.7
Requiem 4.1
Thanks

I'm on MacOS X 10.8.4, Java 7 Update 25 and iTunes 11.0.5. When I try to open Requiem in Finder, I get the message, "'Requiem' is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash." I tried dragging a protected movie onto it. I tried using "Open With." I tried using the "Open" item in the Finder contextual menu. Same error message every time.

I then shifted my focus to Terminal where I got this msg: Error: Could not find or load main class UnDrm

I just spent $20 buying StarTrek Into Darkness and enjoyed the movie very much. However, I need to write up a critical analysis of this movie using screenshots that I annotate with circles, arrows and text. Any Mac app that captures the screen (probably requires a call to the OS) is prevented from doing so by the OS. This is done by masking the screen area with a checkerboard pattern. All screen grabbers are affected this way.

Taking screen shots for a purpose such as mine is clearly a fair use under US law (Fair Dealing in other countries) so this is not a plea for help in doing anything illegal.

I understand that Brahms is no longer supporting Requiem so Apple has gotten the last word in on this matter. Perhaps someone can pick up where Brahms left off. Perhaps someone can figure out how to defeat Apple's method for preventing screen capture. Any pointers to other options will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you very much! I finally bit the bullet and registered with iTunes to download a specific video [ETA: video serial] released only on iTunes. I downloaded it and was unable to play it on my computer no matter what tweaks I made to my system (I finally managed to get the audio to stop stuttering by putting the quality way down to the CD quality, but the video was still choppy and not in sync with the audio). My sister let me borrow her computer, and I was able to download the serial and watch on her computer just fine (both were running Win7, and my computer actually has higher specs than hers does). I went through the Apple forums, and although I found many threads with many Windows users having the same problem, I didn't find a solution that worked.

All I wanted to do was to be able to watch the videos I'd paid for on my own computer whenever I wanted. Requiem worked perfectly. I uninstalled the most recent iTunes and installed 10.63, then I deleted the iTunes library and re-downloaded the videos. I fast-forwarded through each video in iTunes, since I read somewhere that the videos have to have been played in iTunes before Requiem could work its magic. Then I extracted Requiem, ran the program, it almost instantly found the videos, and within a relatively short time, I had videos that I could watch using VLC media player -- where they play perfectly.

Requiem hasn't changed my mind about iTunes -- I'm still not going to purchase anything more from there -- but it has taken away the frustration and irritation I felt every time I remembered the videos I couldn't play! Thank you!

I hate DRM. It doesn't deter pirates, but it does keep ordinary, honest consumers who just want to be able to watch, listen to, or read the content they've purchased without having compatibility issues.

Thanks very much!

 

I get this bug after playing my Itunes film ":we could not complete your itunes store request an unknown error occurred (-42408)) "

 

Every time I run Requiem it gives me a message "failed call a458f619 - can iTunes play this file?" I've verified my Java is up to date, I downgraded iTunes to 10.7 as I've seen recommended in some of the forums (which resolved the initial error I was getting) but still no go. Any suggestions?

 

Ok, so opening iTunes and starting to play each file then skipping to the next resolved the issue.

 

Check you have set 'allow applications downloaded from anywhere' in the general tab of Security & Privacy of the System Preferences ( it defaults to Mac App store ).

 

I need an older version - Requiem 1.8.8. I tried to get it from Requiem's Tor website, but it appears to no longer be online!

I searched everywhere, only got fake files and torrents, or dead torrent links or password protected rapidshare files. Even tried eMule.

Can anyone help?

 

Here you go: Requiem 1.8.8

 

Same here, Tor site seems to be down, but I need Requiem 3.3.6 for iBooks. Does anybody have that one and can up it?

 

Hello!

Does Requiem support deDRMing Audible books on iTunes? The ones bought on Audible.com, not on iTunes. iTunes plays them, but the deDRM process do not work. Is it supposed to?

As the current situation, does Requiem work on anything at all?

 

Hello! InsaneNutter, can you explain how to use the terminal on Mac, please?

 

Thank you! But I already know it. I was interested to know how to work with the new version. I just want to remove DRM from Apple Music files (It files don't work with old iTunes).
