Can no longer purchase itunes songs on original computer and ipod but...

Hello,
Originally, I had a iPod nano with video..do not have generation at hand..and used it at iTunes with no issues for music and podcasts.
My purchases and downloads worked fine via my authorized computer. Mid to late summer, I received an iPod touch as gift and
want to use the iPod touch for video, apps, podcasts and ibooks while keeping the older iPod nano for music only.
At present time, the iPod touch seems to work fine at wi fi hotspots for purchases and downloads of video, apps, podcasts, and
ibooks and magazines. However, I can't seem to use my authorized computer to purchase songs..but I can listen to previews
and download free podcasts on it.
Please advise as to how to fix this situation....
Thanking in advance,
Mary Pauline in northern NJ

Bought new computer- how do i get all my itunes song off old computer and onto new one?

i recently purchased a new computer and installed ITUNES on it. Once I put in my APPLE ID all my purchased songs showed up (songs i purchased through ITUNES on my old computer). Here is the problem, my old computer has around 800 songs on it from cd's that I owned and downloaded those songs into ITUNES. Now i want those songs on my new ITUNES on my new computer but don't know how to get them there. I have tried the following so far:
- Tried syncing my ipod and ipad to the new computer but each time I do this the new computer ITUNES wants to wipe out the 800 songs and just put on the transfered purchases songs.
- Tried 'home sharing'. When I did home sharing with both computers on and ITUNES opened all the songs showed up on my new computer but as soon as I closed out ITUNES on the old computer the 800 songs went away on the new computer and it went right back to the songs I purchased.
Please someone tell me there is an easy way to take all these songs I have on ITUNES on the old computer and transfer them to my new computer and ITUNES without having to bust out all these old cd's and sit there and re-burn them all on the new computer.
I have in addition to this all ready authorized my new computer with ITUNES so that is good to go. Any help would be appreciated...

Are they not on your new computer after you restored your iTunes backup?
Didn't have a backup?
Unlike music you can download apps multiple times. Go to each app, download it (ignore the price) and after you click it will tell you that you've already purchased the app and ask if you want to download it again.

Can't play my itunes songs on my computer

I recently went to play songs from my itunes on my computer and every time I click on a song I get a message that the song I have selected cannot be played because the original file cannot be found. I still have my entire Itunes on my Ipod, but it does not seem to do any good to use touch copy to try to get the song back into itunes. I am not sure what the problem is or what I have done to create this situation. All the songs show up as being in my library just as always but they will not play. Any suggestion? Also, I want to copy my itunes collection from my computer to my new computer but I am having a difficult time accomplishing that as well. Obviously I am not very tech savvy, but I am not a total idiot either. I am using windows on my computer, with windows xp on the computer that I now have Itunes on (that I can't get the songs to play from, and window 8 on my new computer. Thanks.

I cannnot get my newly purchased itune songs to download to my ipod nano

I have purchased new songs but cannot get them downloaded to my nano. As soon as I hit the icon for my nano in the top right corner it just disappears

You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. From the information you posted yo are try to sync with another library.
You can however manage music and videos among different computers. See:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Are you doing this?
You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually.

I have just tried to upgrade to the new software update and I can no longer access iTunes. I have uninstalled and downloaded the latest software but it will not install. Any help please?

I have just tried to update iTunes to the latest software and now I keep getting error messages. I have uninstalled and downloaded the latest version without any success. Any advice please?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

My user id states this unit is not shared on this user id so how can i set up itunes on my new computer and apple TV

The above makes on sense.
You need to copy the entire /Musci/iTunes/ folder from old computer to new computer.

HT201272 For some reason tune purchases have vanished from my computer and ipod, i checked my purchases and it thinks they are on the computer and won't let me redownload them. What do I do?

So i puty my Ipod in to charge a few weeks back and then the next time I went to use it I found a bunch of songs missig so I plugged it back in and found Itunes still listed but when I click on them it says it can't find them. I brought up my purchases on Itunes and it says they are on my computer and downloaded, won't let me re-download. How do I fix it? I really don't want to have to buy them all again or something. And why is this whiole thing so slow?

Also consider using vlc as the player which can handle a wide range of video formats as well.

ITunes wiped clean on computer and iPod how do I get my music back?

I just did the iOS 5.1 system update for the ipod. It told me it will restore my ipod and I was okay with that. But when it was finished I went to my iTunes on my computer (iMac) and there is absolutly no music. There are no music files on my computer either. I extreamly need to get back that music that was stored on my iTunes. Those songs can't be gotten back. I rarely buy from iTunes and those songs were transfered on here from a computer that I don't have anymore. Some of these songs were even of my dead family playing and instrament and I have no copies! Please help me get my music back I am completly heart broken.

You may be able to redownload iTunes ourchased music by the following. It depends upont the country you are in:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You will have to get the other music by the same method you got them the first time. If they are not on the iPod or computer, they are gone. Sorry.

Trying to down load my purchased itunes song onto another computer

I logged into my itunes on my pc to download a song I purchased but it says my computer has to be authorized, how does that happend? What do I do?
Thanks

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Purchased iTunes song to mp3/mp4 non-ipod

I just purchased the theme to Star Trek for our daughter. She wants it on her mp3/mp4 player. It's not an iPod (too young for such an expensive item).
It's sitting on my Mac and I can't do a thing with it.
How do I get it onto her player so she can listen to it?
Thanks!

iTunes downloads will only play on iPods or iTunes
phones due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
copy protection. However if you burn it to an audio
CD you can import it back as an MP3 track. You'll
lose some quality in the process but you'll be able
to use the track on other devices.
Thank you very much -- I Just went in and checked iTunes, and I'm not certain what to do -- do I export it or what?
Thanks -- this is the first time I'm trying to do this --

New mac wont play itunes songs from old computer and email accounts.

What is the solution for getting songs to deauthorize from a old account that is no longer active?
I recently used migration assistant for a new imac. I have found that some of my itunes library wont play for they want the song to be deauthorized by using and old account password and email. What is the solution to this problem?
and yes I have deauthorized the new imac.
Any help would be appreciated!!
John

If the songs were purchased using different accounts, you need to authorize your computer for (all) the accounts that were used to purchase them. Each purchased song has the account id embedded in the file info. Each track must authorized according to the account credentials with which it was purchased.
