Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

  • Updated my bios, and I had to authorize my computer to play purchased music

    did updating bios (in a dell inspiron 5150) change my Computer's identity or something? Thank goodness I had one spot left of computers to authorize.
    Is there a way I can make it so this is (again) my primary machine?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "primary machine"; the iTunes Music Store doesn't keep any sort of heirarchy of authorized systems. But this may help with the extra authorization:
    One computer using multiple iTunes Music Store authorizations
    And if you've reached five authorizations for your iTMS account, there will be a button in your iTunes Music Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your iTMS account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

  • Authorize this computer to play iTunes songs not working so well

    I've downloaded a few of the "Free" songs from the iTunes Store and later when I go to listen to them I get a window to log in and authorize my computer to play the song. Problem is, I am logged in. And even if I log in again, I then get a message that says my computer is already authorized.
    Now the fun part. Sometimes after I log in again the song will start playing. Other times, no luck.
    I have tried restarting the computer and iTunes and neither seems to improve the problem. I also recently updated iTunes to version 8.0.1.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    TJ

    Several users have reported this issue since the release of iTunes 8. Some are able to sort out the problem temporarily by restarting iTunes, or by restarting the computer. I'd suggest the section of this document regarding removing the SC Info folder:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
    Beyond that, it doesn't hurt to report the issue to iTunes Store customer service:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Chef_206,
    I think you might be experiencing something different, which is actually more or less expected behavior of iTunes. In your iTunes program, click your Store menu at the top and choose View my Account. Enter your account info, and when you get to the Apple Account Info page you should see a button that says "Deauthorize All." Click this button, which deauthorizes all computers (whether they be 5 tangible machines, or one machine taking up several authorizations) and then go back and see if you can authorize your desired computer(s).

  • Can't authorize new computer to play my music or download them onto my ipod

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to the forum. I seem to be having trouble authorizing my new computer to play my songs, and to also download them onto my ipod. It will download some but not all. The problem that I am having is: when I try to play a song, the authorization pops up and asks me to authorize using my old email address, and password. Well since I can't remember my old password and I no longer use my old email address, I can't authorize my new computer to play songs. So someone Please come to my rescue. I have tried everything.

  • Re authorizing computer to play purchased music?

    SO, ive bought a few things from itunes, and then my computer was having problems so we backed everything up and then wiped it and re installed everything like it was new. When i put the music back on it said i had to authorize my computer to play the music ive purchased on my account, and i did but then it told me i had authorized 2 of the 5 computers im allowed to authorize. Is there any way i can fix that? cus really this is the same computer, so when i get a new one ill be on my third "authorization" and thats not quite right...

    ohhh ok so i can only fix it once im up to my full 5 computers? alright well now ill rememeber to un authorize this one before i get rid of it. So in the case taht your computer just completely crashes before you can do antyhing you just have to wait till youre up to your full 5 authorizations to do anything about it?

  • My computer is authorized to play purchases but for one of the songs I recently purchased I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer to play the song. How do I fix this?

    I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
    From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
    In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
    Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
    If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"

  • Hi. I purchased and downladed a song. When trying to play it, a pop up asked me to authorize the computer to play it. I did so, but it wouldn't play, despite my laptop has been already authorized. How can I play the song? Thanks. Juan

    If only one song is doing that, that suggests the track is damaged.

    are you saying that your computer is autharized from guessing, or do you know it is becuase it says it. in itunes, go to the advanced tab and the last option in that tab should be either aurhorize, or de-authorize.  What does it say?
