Authorising music from my desktop to my laptop?

Hi,
I have transfered my purchased songs from the itunes store from my Desktop G5 to my G3 laptop. However when i try to play the songs on my nlaptop it says that "the computer is not authorized to play them, would i like to authorize"
Then it takes me into the music store and asks me to download version 6.0.2 but this requires a 500mhz computer but mine is only a 400mhz. When i installed itunes 6.0.2 it ran crap so i don't want to use version 6. How then can i authorize my laptop to play my songs without upgrading?

Did you buy those songs on your G5 with iTunes 6?
This is a quote from the readme of iTunes 6, that shows up when you install it:
Note: After purchasing music from the iTunes Music Store with iTunes 6 or later, you will also need to upgrade your other computers that purchase music from the iTunes Music Store to the latest version of iTunes.
If you bought songs with iTunes 6, they won't play on previous versions.
I'm not sure about songs bought with previous versions. Can't check that on my Macs, because I upgraded iTunes on both of them.

  • I just transferred music from a desktop to a laptop to put on itunes. After this exhausting process of renaming and renaming unnamed tracks, when I play one on itunes the song title disappears and though the song plays, I have to rewrite name of song.

    I just transferred music from a desktop to a laptop to put on itunes. After this exhausting process of renaming and renaming unnamed tracks (b/c itunes made me rename them even after I rewrote the names in the music folder of my computer even though I hadn't put the songs onto itunes beforehand when the tracks were unnamed), when I play one on itunes the song title disappears and though the song plays, I have to AGAIN rewrite the name of the song. Is there an actually answer out there???!

    i guess you are referring to iTunes Match. It sounds as though you haven't downloaded all the content and are trying to play your music over a poor connection.

    Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

  • How do I move my music from an imac to a laptop?

    How do I move my music from an imac to a laptop? Nothing was purchased at the itunes store, it's all from cd's I imported to the itunes library on an imac originally-but now i have a laptop...

    You can do it over a network, or use a hard drive, or a flash drive if you have one big enough that doesn't turn it into a 20 step copy chore.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb

    Hi,
    I imported my iweb site files from my desktop to my laptop and now they wont open up in iweb.
    I can see the files in the home/sites folder but cant seem to be able to replace them with the site that is already in iweb?
    I have just upgraded to lion on the macbook pro and was using 10.4.x on the desktop.
    Is there any way to replace the files and work on the web site on the MBP?
    And I dont see the library/application support/iweb folder anywhere.
    Much appreciate the feedback.
    Thanks

    As I said earlier, iWeb does not open/import webpages.
    And yes, you need the domain file. The movie demonstrates how to move them to and from the default location.
    And the page explains how to open the hidden library folder in Lion. Which is also discussed in the Lion forum and extensively in this one.

  • How to put CS2 from a desktop to a laptop?

    For 2 weeks now I have fooled around with support, and have got nothing but a bunch of cancled cases, and never talked to anyone.  All I need is for someone to tell me how to put my copy of CS2 from a desktop with XP to a new Laptop with Vista.  I do not have the CD of CS2, downloaded years ago from the net. I have no idea even where to start.  Thanks.

    The short and sweet of it is that I do and did have my original
    download.  I just could not figure out how to download to a laptop. Not
    being a computer geek I just needed someone to tell me how to download
    it from the desktop to the laptop.
    Well, they probably couldn't help you because you can't do what you asked. You can't move the program form your desktop to your laptop. It needs to be installed from the download file.
    And if you have the download file on your desktop and can't figure out to burn it to a cd or dvd and install it on your laptop like virtually every program ever created then I am not sure what Abobe was suppose to tell you.
    I am not trying to be rude or anything, but you can't transfer programs from one computer to the next. So whether you had it on your desktop is totally irrelevant. You still need to use the install file which you should have had saved on CD or some other form of storage. And if you had the download file saved on your desktop, you should have known where you saved it. Adobe would have no way of no way knowing where you saved it on your hard drive.

  • Can't transfer music library from old desktop to new laptop computer

    I am hoping this is an easy fix, but I have I-Tunes and all my music originally loaded on my desktop.
    I just rcvd a new laptop and loaded I-Tunes onto it, then plugged in my I-Pod and it won't allow me to sync on both computers are the same time
    "This I-pod is synched with another I-Tunes library. I-pod can only be synched with one librart at a time"
    and it wants me to wipe out the all my music and synch with the new computer
    1) Can I have the same music on both computers and connect my I-pod?
    2) How can I just dump all my music on the I-pod to my laptop w/o a external drive or something like that??? Can I use the i-pod to do this?
    Thanks

  • Why can't I play music from the cloud on my laptop?

    So I recently uploaded all my music in the iCloud from my PC Desktop computer in hopes that I could play this music remotely from my laptop. Unfortunatly, it's saying I can't within 40 days when I turn on iMatch. So what's the problem? Do I need to wait 40 days in order to play music in the cloud on other devices? Or is it saying I can never play music from other computers even if I sign in with my own Apple ID?

    I know you're saying that, but I can't think of a reason why you would be getting a warning that you couldn't play music within 40 days of turning on iTunes Match unless you changed IDs.  This article explains this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
    If you feel you are getting this in error, try contacting iTunes store support and ask them what's going on, by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Other iTunes Store Topics>The topic is not listed.
