Authorizing of previously purchased/downloaded items from iTunes

Hi.....
I am having problems trying to authorise my new computer to play videos/tracks that I purchased and downloaded some time ago (still in my library) under an old email address/Apple ID which is no longer available to me. It's been that long, I can't even remember the password I used. Can anyone assist with this problem.

Right click on the tracks/videos and hit Get Info. In there on the summary tab you will see the user name that these were purchased under.
Try to login to iTunes using that name and you will see a forgot password link. There you can reset the password BUT you have to have access to the email account that the items were purchased with.

    You can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( based on the valid billing address on your credit card) AND ONLY while you are physically located inside the borders of that country.

  • HT5085 No re-download on previously purchased TV Shows from Itunes Germany

    Is there any information about why in Germany it is not possible to '(re-)download previously purchased TV Shows? It is a pain to pay for something and then not be able to download it again in case of loosing the Hard Disk Data on my Pc.

    I'm having the same problem.  I purchased a SD season pass for a show and when I tried to download the newest episode I couldn't access the SD version.  When I click on the SD button nothing happens.  The only option it gives me is to download the HD version which means I would have to repurchase the episode.  I haven't had any response from Itunes support.  It hasn't been a problem in previous weeks.

  • "This computer is not authorized to play" any DRM items from iTunes Store

    My iTunes 9.0.3 Library has DRM songs (purchased years ago up thru the end of iTunes DRM) plus TV shows (purchased from 2006 thru two days ago).
    I just discovered none of these restricted songs or TV shows can be played because ...
    *This computer is not authorized to play "name of item". Would you like to authorize it?*
    Before I use another authorization for my Mac Pro (on which everything from 2007 on was purchased), I'd like to understand what has gone wrong.

    I searched the iTunes forum for help before opening this thread. Thanks, Jolly, for the pointer to the article -- it looked promising, but none of the points apply to my situation.
    I did fresh search of all articles, which found the one Jolly recommended. It found a lot of other articles, most/all of which did not include "This computer is not authorized" even though I put that phrase in quotation marks. Article Advanced Search appears to be broken.

  • Can't access previously purchased TV shows from iTunes

    I have purchased several tv series in itunes and can't access SD version to download.  It only gives me option of downloading HD version which would mean I need to repurchase. 
    This issue is a function of itunes not downloading current week show.  I have to do manually each time.  I am logged into account and have most current version of Itunes etc.

  • HT201272 i deleted a book i previously purchased and deleted from itunes

    I deleted a couple of books from my account and now they dont show up as previouly purchased. when i find them in the store, i can not download them without repurchasing them.

    If they are hidden are you able to unhide them : hiding and unhiding ? If you are on iOS 6 on your iPod then hiding doesn't work, and you also can't unhide items, but you should be able to see what is hidden and be able to re-download them

  • TS3297 When I try to purchase an item from iTunes and it says my security code is invalid so I go in and enter the right code and it won't take it

    When I try to buy a song it won't let me it says it's an invalid security code and when I put in the code that's on the back of my card it still says its wrong

    Assuming that it's not a debit card or a prepaid card then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Buying and item from iTunes, What action do you take in between having chossen an item to purchase and then being able to click on the word BUY. I have clicked on the price as it satates in the tutorial and I get a list of actions such as gift this item

    This question is for anyone who has purchased an item from iTunes.
    What action or actions do you take inbetween having selected the item to be purchased and having the word BUY appear on your screen for you to clic on it?
    I have been told to clic on the price. When I do that this list appears; gift this, add to wish list, tell a friend, copy link, share on Facebook & share on Twitter.
    Should I clic on one of thses or press enter after having clicked on one of these?
    What action do you take inbetween having chossen an item to purchase and being able to see the word BUY?

    Thank you for the answer. Apple support has been working on this question for several days.
    I don't think they see any difference between the two tabs as I didn't think there was any seperation and the arrow was the place to clic on the price.
    What would it take to get your statment added to the iTune tutorial?
    For that matter what would it take to get actual tutorials listed under the heading Tutorials listed at the bottom of most iTunes screens. If you clic on the heading Tutorials at the bottom of iTunes pages it lists ads not tutorials.
    Thanks again for your help.
