Song authorization required for home sharing; tried all suggestions I could find but still not working!

I've been having an issue transferring some of my song files in itunes via homesharing from my "old computer" an ibook G4 to my "new computer" a MacBook Pro. I've been able to transfer the majority of the songs; however, when i try to import certain songs, i receive a message that my MacBook Pro is not authorized for those particular songs. Ok, I've been to the support boards and spent 2 hours searching and trying to resolve this issue with the suggestions posted:
— All software is updated on both computers; same message;
— I deauthorized/reauthorized both computers, restarted both; same message;
— I realise some of my songs were downloaded from two different apple ID's; I signed in with the other Apple ID to try transfering them; same message;
— I deleted the SI, SO? folders on both computers; same message;
So after all that, I tried transferring songs the same exact way, but this time from my MacBook Pro to my iBook G4 (mostly because I wanted to update my ipod)— all the new songs I've downloaded since using my MacBook Pro transferred without a problem or in need of any authorization. How is this possible? The process works fine from the new computer to old computer but not vice versa, which is the way I want it to work. I'm highly frustrated and confused. Please help if you have any suggestions-- I'd appreciate it!

To anyone else who is having this problem, mine was finally resolved.
I apparently have another Apple ID, which i did not create, in which these songs are shown as being purchased under. At one time, my account was hacked into, and the hacker must have changed my ID name somehow (by removing one letter of the original ID name). At the time, i didn't report it; i just created another Apple ID. Thankfully, I was able to log into this hacked account by resetting my password. I did have to supply an answer for my security question, but it was the same. I wouldn't have even known about this other ID if not for emailing a complaint to [email protected]
What a pain, but so glad it's over with!

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • Ipod not working, tried all suggestions i could find none worked

    I have a 20 gb ipod that my mom got from sam's club, there is an hp thing on the back so guess that means it's and hp ipod and not a straight apple ipod which my brother says is bad, it came with a griffen itrip and a griffen powerpod car charger, that's all the background about it that i know.
    so i was listening to it today and went to change the song and it didn't play so i figured i must have paused it accidentally, so i hit the play button again, and it changed songs..so then i decided to turn it of and turn it back on again, and it didn't turn back on, it started making wierd clicking noises, so i plugged it into a charger to see if that would fix it and that didn't work either, then i plugged it into my computer and it didn't show up on my computer or in itunes, so i went to this website and started looking around, i did the whole hold down select and menu for 6 second thing and the apple sign showed up, but nothing else happened so i tried to restore it, but the updater wo't regonize it, so then i downloaded the new updater, and it says that it won't mount, so then i did all the stuff i could understand on the "what to do it your ipod won't mount" page i tried forcing it into disk mode like it said to but i wouldn't go, then it just kinda went into disk mode by itself, but the updater still didn't recognize it, so then i tried downloading the new itunes and all that stuff and tried removing the itunes software from my computer, and i guess i did b/c i can't find it now... and now my ipod stopped making the noise, but it's random displaying either the apple symbol, the DO NOT DISCONNECT symbol and that folder with the exclamation point, i tried all the stuff under " folder with an exclamation point" page as well nothing has worked...
    what do i do?

    Hi ...
    The problem is the iPod, not your Mac.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode > If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If that won't work, contact Apple >  iPod touch - Apple Support

    please be certain of the answer coz where i work i dont have a store, i need to buy online and shipp .
    thank you in advance.

    I missed that! I blame it on not having had my coffee this morning!
    To rams2211,
    Crucial certainly makes great RAM - it's what I use in my machine - and you should visit their website. Just to let you know, though, Crucial ships all over the world and have both UK and EU sites, if that helps.
    Your specific model can hold up to 16GB of 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs, even though the 'official' Apple spec is for 8 GB. Something to do with a long-ago firmware update.
    You may also want to visit OWC - their prices are high but they make excellent RAM as well.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I switched on home sharing on My computer And on appleTV, but still cannot Control AppleTV with My ipad

    Hi Wikowiko!
    If you want to be able to control your Apple TV through your iPad, you will want to download a free app from Apple called Remote. An article we have published online can help you understand more of the features of the Remote app, and can be found here:
    About Remote app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?
