Requiem (iTunes and iBooks DRM Remover)

In an earlier post we explained how to bypass Kindle Fire Books to work on iPad and it was possible. So what about to bypass Apple DRM Protection to make Apple eBooks or iTunes Music & Videos work on other platforms?

It is now ancient history because Requiem (FairPlay) has just been updated to version 3.3, and this new version brings the ability to remove iBooks DRM! Bypassing the DRM will be possible from now to read eBooks from Apple on any device, even if it is not iOS. It will now also be possible to convert them to any other eBook format!

Now you can download Requiem for free!

Requiem 3.3.5 is latest version and compatible with Mac & Windows and able to remove the protection on media content (Music and Movies) taken from iTunes, and the protection on iBooks as well.

Warning : Apple still makes sure to block the use of software such as the Requiem as and updates to iTunes, so expect a new version soon.

What iTunes Version is compatible with the current Requiem?

Requiem 3.3.5 can't work perfectly with iTunes 10.6, because iTunes has updated some protections. If you eagerly want to bypass the protections, here are the iTunes 10.5.3 download link. Remove iTunes 10.6 first, install iTunes 10.5.3 and re-download the file you want to decrypt, then run Requiem 3.3.5

iTunes 10.5.3 download links:
 
iTunes 10.5.3 win-32bit
iTunes 10.5.3 win-64bit
iTunes 10.5.3 mac

How to get Kindle books on iPad

How to get Kindle books on iPad? all the Apple marks are excited about the iPad. Not me, but whatever. What I am excited about, though, is seeing consumers use the items they’ve bought in the manner of their choosing. Say you’ve bought a bunch of books from the Amazon Kindle store.

Those books are only “supposed” to work with the Kindle Fire and the various Kindle readers (iPhone and Touch included), but with a bit of work you can read them on iPad, assuming, of course, that Apple doesn’t let Amazon load the Kindle App onto what amounts to be their dedicated ereader.
It’s really not too hard. All you need is the book you want to read on your iPad, unswindle, mobiledrm, and Stanza, which is a program that reads ePub files.
OK!

1. Get your book.
2. Download the required software. This includes python, unswindle.py, mobidedrm.py and Kindle For PC.
3. Put everything in the same directory, then use unswindle to remove DRM.
4. Open Stanza or Kindle For PC, then convert to epub, place it on the iPad, and read away!

 How to use unswindle :

1. Download and Install python 2.6 for Windows x32 (even if you have Windows x64)
   Note: Do NOT use python 2.7!
2. Disable UAC if you use Windows 7 or Vista.
3. Download unswindle.py and mobidedrm.py
4. Double-click unswindle.py. Kindle For PC will open.
5. Select the book you want to convert.
6. When the book loads, simply exit Kindle For PC.
7. The "Select unencrypted Mobipocket file to produce" dialog will open asking you where you want to save your decrypted .mobi file. Enter the filename with the .mobi extension and save the DRM-free .mobi file.

That’s it. Enjoy being able to read Kindle books on your iPad.

Warning : Amazon will likely be updating the DRM it uses pretty much every hour on the hour, so don’t get mad when this method suddenly stops working. It’s a cat-and-mouse game because publishers don’t know how to get on with each other or release books in open standards.

UPDATE – Amazon also reminds us that, as of this writing, there is nothing stopping you from being able to download the Kindle software onto your iPad, thereby bypassing these steps.
