Switched computers due to a crash. I authorised the new one. It won't let me play songs in my library that were purchased from I-tunes. Please help.

All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

New computer, deauthorised my iPhone on the old, authorised the new but it won't sync properly?

Hey there,
I got a new computer a while back and finally got around to trying to set it all up on the new computer, so I deauthorised the old, authorised the new but my iPhone won't sync properly. It allows me to backup and update the phone but no media functionality? Can anyone help?

I have several Outlook accounts and want to switch between them but Firefox defaults to the main one and won't let me access the others.

Outlook now makes me sign out and sign back in to each of my email accounts. When I try to sign back in, it defaults to the main account and won't let me type in the other email addresses. This only happens in Firefox, both Google and IE leave the email address blank and let me type in the one I want to access. I'd rather use Firefox, but it doesn't let me type in a different email address. Can I fix this?

Have a new computer. I need to deauthorise the old one first before I can authorise the new one yet the only option is to deauthorise all...

Deauthorise just one computer for iTunes not all of them

You need to go to that computer, either physically or through Virtual Network Computing, before you can individually deauthorize it.

When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out. How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

Recently I have switched out computers and had copied/ transferred my I ITunes library to the new computer and encountered problem.

Request advice/assistance to where I am able to play songs acquired through lost password?

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

My hard drive crashed. I slaved the old drive, but did not make a backup of my bookmarks. how can I transfer my bookmarks from the old drive to the new one?

My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???

Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:

I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

I switched from an iPhone to an LG g2, but now all my iMessages keep going to my old iPhone rather than the new one. I know the resolution to the problem is to turn off my iMessage, but I no longer have the iPhone because I sold it to the phone carrier. Question is how do I turn my iMessage off through a computer that is not a mac.

Where do i find the backed up info from my phone?
