After pc format a new computer is authorized

when i format my pc and then install itunes it again asks me to authorize the same computer again and a new computer is authorized every time i format my computer.why is it like this?.what should i do?

1. Because the files on the computer itself which tell that it was previously authorized were erased.
2. Use the Deauthorize Computer function before erasing it if possible. If it's not possible to do it before, it may work afterwards on the same machine even if it doesn't think it's authorized; if that doesn't work, use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article, and if needed, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff at the bottom of it.

Is there a way to keep all your stuff on your ipod after transferring to a new computer and being able to get new stuff on it while the old stuff is still on the ipod???

Okay so I had my itunes on my moms computer and now her computer is broken and I need to buy stuff on itunes (And I want to see my wish list again). How can I transfer all my old stuff over to this new computer with out changing anything or having anything deleted but at the same time being able to put new stuff on from the computer???

Try this way:
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Saving data to a computer before setting it up again is also explained here: How to back up your data and set up as a new device

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized. Help!

I have purchased a new computer and authorized my iTunes with my Apple ID; however, my iPod Classic, which I have had for many years, will not sync hundreds of songs that I have purchased and says the device needs to be authorized.
I have searched high and low and there does not seem to be a way to authorize the iPod Classic. What can I do to sync my purchases to my iPod? I have tried reformatting/restoring it as suggested. It continues to only allow me to sync non-icloud/itunes content.
Help!

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

I downloaded iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out and will not play, how do I get access to my music?

I installed iTunes to a new computer and authorized that computer but my music is grayed out. How do I get access to my music?

Is there a way to change that?
You can easily set up the iPod to automatically sync to your current iTunes library (or just do a Restore), but that will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your current iTunes library (erasing the iPod). If your old computer was "retired" gracefully and you were able to transfer its complete iTunes user data to your new computer, there is no problem because all of the songs on the iPod now are already in your current iTunes library. However, if there are songs on the iPod that are not in your current iTunes library, those songs will be lost. That may be a problem...
If you want to preserve what is on the iPod, you can try setting the iPod to Manually manage music and videos. I believe you can do that from an iTunes library that is not the iPod's currently associated library. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. Check the box for Manually manage music and videos. (If iTunes puts up any warning about erasing or replacing the iPod's existing content, Revert the change and cancel out.) Click Apply. The iPod is no longer set to automatically sync. But you can add new content manually to what is already on the iPod. And the songs should not be grayed out.
However, you cannot use iTunes to transfer songs on the iPod to your current iTunes library (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). If there are songs on the iPod that are not in your computer's iTunes library, you should eventually "offload" those song files because your iPod can easily break, become corrupted, or get lost. iTunes syncs content in one direction only (from computer to iPod), but there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like iPod "transfer," you should get some links, including a CNET article on the topic.
Once all of your songs are "consolidated" in your current iTunes library, you can set up the iPod for automatic syncing to that library.

My new computer is Authorized but.....

Okay my new computer is authorized. I pluged in my ipod and my purchased music from my old computer shows up but I can not listen to it or click on it or anything. Why is this? Also if I have an ipod and so does my husband, we can share itunes right? Cuz we use the same computer. Could use the help thanks!!!

"my purchased music from my old computer shows up but I can not listen to it or click on it or anything"
Are we talking about the iPod or iTunes here? Are the songs "greyed out"?
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable/playable, then you need to change to manually managing your songs.
"Also if I have an ipod and so does my husband, we can share itunes right?"
Yes, several ways. Making playlists for each iPod and having the iPods set to "update selected playlists only" is one such way.

    I've got a MacBook Pro 1TB HD, the drive was damaged (probably dropped) after I formatted the new drive I was able to get the OSi onto the drive and it's now up and running..But prior to removing the old HD I was able to run CloneZilla to map the drive. The problem I'm having is getting the files and documents back on the new HD.
   I created a folder on the desk top and moved all the files and docs onto it, ( files / docs was originally burnt on a DVD ). I'm not sure A) how to open the specific files B) which files to extract C) Is it as simple as drag and drop...
   Hope you're able to understand my problem and offer some suggestions, in advance thank you for your time and effort...

Hi, Steve -
Yes, the CD-ROM drive must be jumpered as Master in order for it to be bootable.
Your G4 (PCI) should have two built-in IDE buses - one is usually assigned to the CD-ROM and Zip drives, and the other is used for hard drives. If you have the hard drive connected to the same bus as the one the CD-ROM is on, try switching the hard drive to the other bus.
Set the hard drive's jumpers as Master.
Exception - if the hard drive is a Western Digital, it may have a third position, Single, which must be used when the drive is the only device on the bus.
Note - Cable Select jumper settings will not work on a G4 (PCI).
Edit - -
Startup Manager, which is what booting with Option held down invokes, is not available on a G4 (PCI).
Article #106178 - Startup Manager: How to Select a Startup Volume
Firewire Target Disk Mode is limited on a G4 (PCI) - it can be the Host machine, but not the Target machine.
Article #58583 - Firewire Target Disk Mode
Relatedly, a G4 (PCI) can not boot to firewire drives, although it can use them for storage.

After reinstallation on a new computer program did not start

Why did the program not start after reinstallation on a new computer????

If my memory serves me correctly you can only have Aperture 3 installed on 1 computer at a time so if you have it installed on the original Mac and this new system at the same time it may give you a multiple installations detected warning or something of that nature.
Best of luck.
That is correct however Aperture does allow multiple installs to allow a user to have Aperture running on one computer at a time. For example a photographer may have a MacPro notebook and and Mac Pro desktop. He can use the license when he's on a shoot in the field using the MBP while the Mac Pro sits dormant at home. The software is sophisticated enough to detect he's trying to run one license on multiple machines simultaneously. I have successfully migrated Aperture myself and use it on my iMac and MacBook Air however as stated only one machine at a time.
The OP mentions the machine is new to him, which complicates matters quite a bit. I hope he got the original media from the seller if he did not then there is a good chance he is running illegal software and was duped by the seller. The OP doesn't say where he got the iMac so I'm assuming he bought it used, if I am correct then this is one the problems of buying used, caveat emptor. If I'm incorrect (like maybe it was a hand-me-down from a relative) then all he needs to do is get the media and key code.
Apple is careful on it's licensing on it's professional software.

Ok, new computer. Authorized it. Can see files for everything in cloud.

OK, new computer. Authorized it. Can see all music in cloud, not on hard drive. My old computer which had the original files down loaded, was able to be saved from hard drive. The tech that is helping, what should I tell him to do to get my files back on my new hard drive? They are on an external drive. Thank you for your help.

OIf they are on your external hard drive and you want them back on your local hard drive.
First check that the Copy files to iTunes medi folder is selected in Preferences, Advanced.
Alsoo under store turn off show ourchasaes in the cloud
Turn off itunes match
You now have an empty library
Then File > Add to library and choose the parent folder of music on your external hard drive click Open and itunes will copy all that music into the right folder on your machine. How long it takes depends on how much music you have.
When finished turn on itunes Match if you are using it

IPod Won't Sync After Moving Music to New Computer

With the help of someone here, I moved my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new one. It didn't work exactly like it was supposed to. All of my music is on my new computer and in my iTunes library, but my playlists, counts etc. are gone. Whatever - I'll deal. Now, though, my iPod won't sync with my new computer (which I did authorized). The "Do Not Disconnect" sign never goes away after I connect my iPod. Thoughts?

*I'm afraid to plug in my iPod in fear of it erasing my playlists...*
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
*but should I plug it in to restore playlists??*
Your playlists won't be restored by simply connecting your iPod to iTunes.

Ipod Classic No Longer Synchs after Itunes Moved to New Computer

I successfully restored my itunes from old computer to external hard drive to new computer. Then I tried to sync iPod Classic 80 GB, but was told I couldn't synch it to new computer. So I restored Ipod to factory settings and tried synching again. It put on just a handful of songs I never heard of. Meanwhile my 10,000 or so songs iin iTunes on my computer did not make it to my iPod. How to get the itunes over to my now freshly restored iPod?

Please be patient, sync issues are time consuming, if you are lucky, just a Hard Rest and Restore will solved it.
Ok Software Version 1.1.2.
So you can see all your 10,000 songs, in the new PC iTunes, and do you have any problem syncing the iPod using iTunes 10.5.3.3 on the old computer?
Can you do a Hard Reset as below
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
On your iTunes please reset alert warnings, so that we can see the errors.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2527?viewlocale=en_US
We need to see what problems iTunes is having
Then connect your iPod to the new PC and sync again.
Have a nice day!

HT201272 I recently got a new computer and authorized it. I have only been able to find the newest of purchases. I am missing hundreds of downloads/playlists and cannot get them to sync from my ipod. How do I locate all my playlists?

I have hundreds of songs, most of them purchased from the ITunes Store. I am only able to find the newest of purchases. I have a new laptop (my old one died) and have de-authorized the old PC and authorized the new one.
I thought I might have two separate id's, for some reason, but am unable to find any info re the possible second one. i.e., cannot log in, apple does not recognize it as a user id.
Everything I have/had is on my IPod but I am unable to migrate the music from the IPod to my PC. I have downloaded all the updates for the PC and the IPod. I am at a loss as to how to recover my music and cannot find a way to contact anyone at Apple without having to pay a fee.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Judi Dupree

ITunes says new computer is Authorized but not

Everytime I Authorize my New computer to play my protected tracks I've purchased from iTunes, it says its Authorized but STILL doesnt play the Tracks and asks to Authorize AGAIN!!!
Its NEVER going to play all the Music I've bought in the Past.
Please Help

Copy the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
Contact support here:

You may want to try to manage the old ID here:

Use the original email address and password.
