Itunes shows an album in library but tells me I am not authorised to use it - I go through the whole id authorisation process and it still says the same, I purchased it three email addresses ago.

What do you mean three email addresses ago? Do you mean that you've had three accounts in the store with three separate email addresses? Purchases must be authorized according the account details under which they were purchased. You can Get Info on the tracks and see the account name they were purchased with. Also...a missing shared folder can prevent authorization. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1277

I have paid to have an itune downloaded to my library BUT how to I synch it to my ipod touch without duplicating all the other somgs in my library

As above.
I have 3 new itunes now in my library.
How do i synch just the 3 of them to my ipod touch without dupicating all my other songs.like hundreds of them.
Thank you

I watched the new itunes tutorial, and if you double click on the blank part of the bar that says music, videos, apps, etc, a button will show with your ipod's name.

I want to use the same name for my icloud email address as my .mac name

My name for all of my yahoo, gmail, .mac email accounts are al the same. I'd like to use the same name for my icloud account. It tells me that the name is not available but I'm pretty sure no one else would have chosen it. Is the fact that I've used it for my .mac email address somehow blocking it's availability? Please help. Thanks.

There is some confusion in my mind about your post. Let me describe what I think you mean, let us know if I misunderstood...
I'm assuming you already have an Apple ID that you used to define an iCloud account (or an older dot mac account), and the iCloud account has "[email protected]" as its email address. But the Apple ID for this account is not the same as the email address I just listed, perhaps your apple ID is something like "xyz@???.com" and what you want is to use the ID, "mySpecialName@???.com". [the "???" could be mac, icloud, or something else]
If I've got it right so far, then when creating a **new** Apple ID, you must now use @icloud.com. If you are trying to define "[email protected]", then that is the problem - "mySpecialName" is already associated with @icloud.com, because your current @mac.com also has [email protected] as an alias, so that name is no longer available.
Also, you cannot change the current ID from "xyz" to "mySpecialName" on an existing account. So either way, you can't get the ID that you desire.
Let us know if this is not what you mean.

I uploaded a CD to my itunes it shows in my library but I am unable to get it on my iphone 5. what am I doing wrong??

I uploaded a CD to itunes it shows in my library but it does not show up on my iphone 5. What am I doing wrong?? working on this for 2 days now and still cannot figure it out.

I'm also having the same problem, when before I hadn't. I've been trying to research this issue too w/ little success. All of a sudden I realized that not all my songs were playing and red squares w/ red circles appeared next to a bunch of music on my playlist. So I tried to delete my playlist & re-sync but I couldn't get alot of my songs back onto my iphone 4. I believe we're being forced into subscribing to the itunes Match where it stores all your music (purchased & uploaded) on the cloud. Hoping I'm wrong.

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are availabl

I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
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 items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

very frustrated iphone user !!

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers

Album uploaded to Itunes match, plays on computer but won't play on ipod, no cloud symbol next to songs. Press play on 1 track and it skips through the album without playing. I've tried deleting the album from PC and downloading again from match and even after syncing the album won't play on the ipod
iPod touch, iOS 6.1

I've just connected the ipod to my computer and checked the music on the iPod. The album that I am having trouble with shows an exclamation symbol next to it. I've tried deleting the album from iTunes and re downloading it then syncing but it doesn't appear to affect the information shown the iPod. The album neither deletes nor updates.

Itunes shows app updates badge but no updates are available

My iPhone 5's itunes shows app updates badge but no updates are available

I started having the exact same issue as of last night. Tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. Have opened a support case with Apple.
I suspect there may be a problem on Apple's end with their App Store update server.
Stay tuned.

I am confused. Are you talking about a credit card?

Depends whether you access each InBox seperately, or use the All Inboxes feature which merges all your seperate InBoxes into one view.

I have deleted the same photo at least three times but they keep coming back. I am so tired of it! Why won't they stay deleted?

Tell us more, please - so it is hard to say.
What is your Aperture version? And where is your Aperture library located?
Are you syncing your library in any way? With Facebook, Flickr, Photo Streams?
Where did you delete the photos from? from an album, web album, project? Did you empty the Aperture trash and the trash on your desktop?
