[QUOTE="dlwburner, post: 1898442"] Hello, I just got my new iPhone 13 in and I'm eager to set it up; However, I'm running into issues when using the Transfer Directly from iPhone feature. So about midway through the beginning of the transfer, I started getting this repetitive message saying something to the effect of "iPhone has files that were downloaded by another Apple ID, sign in to complete transfer". I was given the option to skip transferring/downloading that file, but it kept popping up with many different iClouds. After about 50 manual skips I stopped. There wasn't an option to mass skip and I had no clue how many more files I would have to manually skip. I was almost certain this was a DRM music protection issue. I also noticed a lot of the iCloud emails were music name based, so I had assumed it had something to do with my massive music library (20,000 songs) and songs I've downloaded in the past? However, (this is where my confusion stems from) when I searched for DRM protected songs in my library using [URL='https://www.technipages.com/itunes-how-to-tell-which-songs-are-drm-protected']this guide[/URL] , there weren't enough to justify the amount of manual skips I endured. There were only a handful of Protected AAC Songs and ironically all of them were purchased by me. Hyptohetically, logging into my iCloud would remove this issue entirely. My question I suppose is, could there possibly be hidden DRM protected songs? I currently see a few different types of audio in my iTunes; "AAC audio files", "MPEG audio files", "Purchased AAC audio files", and "Protected AAC audio files" (all of which were purchased by me). From my understanding, MPEG and Purchased AAC are good, but could those AAC audio files, be the issue? I didn't see anything in that guide about them, so I know it's a possibility.
