Can I authorise a computer to play bought shows that ISN'T linked to iTunes

I recently bought a TV series from iTunes, and wanted to copy it to another computer of mine that isn't connected to the internet, so therefore isn't connected to the iTunes store. I used a memory stick to copy it, as it isn't able to be burned to a CD. It doesn't allow me to authorise this TV show when I try to play it as it needs to be linked to the iTunes store. I was wondering if there was a way around this problem, as it would be a big help to me.

Sorry, no. Any computer needs to be authorized to play purchased content. This will require the computer to be connected to the internet long enough to get it authorized.

    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

  • I have an Adobe ID & Password, but still can't authorise my computer?

    I have an Adobe ID & password, but still can't authorise my computer, please assist.

    Why has this question from April not been answered?! I just bought an iPad Mini and can't authorise my Adobe ID. I am trying to download books from my local public library through OverDrive, which I have been doing for years on my PC and my iPad but it's not working on my brand new Mini. When I click on a book that I've 'checked out' in my Bookshelf (in the 'library') it opens up the Adobe Authorisation window, which says, 'To use this eBook you must first authorize this application with an Adobe ID.' I enter my email address and password, click on Authorize. Then I get a pop up message that says: 'Adobe ID. This Adobe ID is synced to OverDrive. Would you like to log in to OverDrive and restore this activation? No/Yes.' When I click on Yes it takes me to an OverDrive window, asking me to 'Sign in to your OverDrive account'. I log in via Facebook, it opens up the Personal details page of Account Settings. I click Save, then it says 'Your account settings have been updated.' Then nothing else happens. When I go back into my OverDrive Bookshelf I have to do the whole process over again. Obviously the Adobe ID is not authorising somewhere along the line.

    Two possible solutions ...
    1) ~~~~~
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    E_AUTH_NOT_READY is another unhelpful one it sometimes gives.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
    2) ~~~~~~~~~
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1).  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
    The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above.  There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'.  The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
    Some people have found ADE trying to upgrade automatically. 
    It appears (not 100% sure) that if you install ADE2.0 as a new install (not as an upgrade) that your 1.7.2 will continue to run.
    Probably best to say no if 2.0.x installation asks if you want to migrate your library.

    How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

    You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

    There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
    Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.

    We had ADE on a system whose hard drive was dying and becomming unusable. I replace the old hard drive with a new one and resinstalled everything.

When we attempt to authorize the new ADE install on the new harddrive we see the dreaded "You can only authorize this computer with an Adobe ID that hasn’t previously been used to authorize any other computer or mobile devices.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.

  • How can I have a video of my personal song That I've written in iTunes Have 3200 views in 4 hours, ? Does iTunes upload your iTunes library ?

    How can I have a video of my personal song That I've written in iTunes Have 3200 views in 4 hours, ? Does iTunes upload your iTunes library ?

    You can't write videos with iTunes.  You can't even write anything with iTunes.  iTunes plays media, not create it.
    iTunes only uploads your library if you have subscribed to iTunes Match and then it is only viewable by yourself.  It doesn't include video.
    iTunes is an application that runs on your computer.  It is not the iTunes Store which is something run on Apple's corporate computer's.
    I think there's terminology problems here so perhaps simplify it a bit.  Are you talking about something you have on the iTunes Store server?  I know nothing about that but I guess it is possible people (or more likely automated computer programs automatically scanning the web) have had a look and that gets flagged as a view.

  • Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.

    Hi,
    My Apple TV won't play TV shows that are fully downloaded in my library.  It says it will take 6 hours to load a 50 minute episode.  It suggests to change the picture resolution, yet this till says it will take hours to uplaod.  Is anyone else having this problem, and how do I fix it?  I only bought the thing last week, and really feel ripped off.  Thanks in advance.

    Well, if the size of my iPhoto library is the problem, I would have hoped that Apple would have mentioned that when we were on the phone for two hours. But yes, that is a possibility. I have about 260 events containing about 26,000 photos.
    I agree, they should now what kind of limitations might apply.
    Again, the issue may not be iPhoto per se, but something in iTunes or the interface between the two that just struggles above a certain number of files.
    I was able to view photos before I upgraded my apple TV to v3 software but it was not reliable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. And it was always slow.
    There were occasional posts about people with slow performance on AppleTV who had huge music libraries - not in terms of storage size, just overall numbers of songs/albums etc.
    AppleTV is not a particularly high spec device compared to any modern computer so long lists of music files or photos/events might overload it. Trouble is here, itunes is just flat refusing to recognise your photos to even attempt to stream them.

  • HT2736 Now, I've reset my iPad and I can't use my account because it says my account isn't used in itune store.

    I've already reedeemed my itune account and used it. Now, I've reset my iPad and I can't use my account because it says my account isn't used in itune store. What's the problem and how can I solve it? Please.

    I'm at home now and have my notes. Creative Cloud had been uninstalled before my practically brand new Dell was restored with the factory backup disks on 12-18 (a whole nother story). CS6 was installed AFTER the restore, so I don't see how any parts and pieces of Creative Cloud could still be on my hard drive.
    On 12-22 I received this Acrobat error: "A problem has occurred with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and relaunch the product. Error: 130:11." Restarting did not help, so I uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat from my DVD, and it worked. I also updated it, just in case. I only turned the computer on a few times after that (not using Acrobat) until the 29th, when Acrobat started telling me I needed to renew my Creative Cloud subscription. That's when the Adobe techs told me I need to get a new email address because CS6 and Creative Cloud share the same email address. ALL of my Adobe products have been used with that same email.
    So tonight, with your advice, here's my update. CS6 listed in the Programs and Features control panel included Acrobat, but Acrobat was also listed separately. I uninstalled the one listed separately. I attempted to use the CC Cleaner Tool after that, but the only option for removing Creative Cloud programs was combined with CS6 programs (which I have already installed twice), so I opted to skip the CC cleaner.
    Of course after that, I had no Acrobat at all. I installed it again from my DVD and updated, and now I can launch Acrobat (same as on 12-22). So...wish me luck, and I'll let you know how it goes.
    Thanks,
    Mary Ann
