Can't authorize computer to play already purchased music in thailand

Help!
I recently came to thailand with a fresh panther install on my pismo notebook. I guess since it's a fresh hard drive, iTunes won't let me play my purchased music without authorization. Here's the catch, when I try to authorize, the iTunes store reports that it's 'busy' and to check my network. I am on an active network and can even log in to my account sort of - it won't quite let me in but knows that my Led Zeppelin pre-order is ready for download to which I click 'not now' and essentially I am nowhere. No apple support email here I guess or I can't find it. Any clues? I am not at 5 authorizations yet.

I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

I can't authorize computer to play iTunes purchases.

I purchased items on my iPod and got a pop down window indicating they cannot be transferred to my iTunes
library because I am not authorized for them on my computer. when I chose Store> Authorize Computer, was unable

You can transfer all the iTunes purchased music from the iPod Touch to your new computer.
From iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize Computer.
In the dialog that appears, the Apple ID button is selected by default. If you have an AOL account, select AOL.
Enter your Apple ID or AOL account and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, the following may appear:
If this alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:

How do I authorize a new computer to play my purchased music on iTunes

I recently got a new computer. My previous computer has iTunes but is no longer able to access the internet. I was able to get my music library from my original computer to the new one. When I try to play music, I get a window asking me to authorize the new computer. I fill in the account and password and press the authorize button. It accepts the password then asks me to download iTunes 6.0. I downloaded and installed iTunes 6 but every time I try to play any of my music, it sends me to the music library to download iTunes 6 again.

Can't authorize computer to access my purchases

My computer got a virus, actually several and I had to run the recovery disc, so lost all of the music on my computer. Before I ran the recovery I managed to get my computer to stay on long enough to move all of my iTunes purchases (82 albums) to my iPod mini (it wouldn't have stayed on long enough for me to burn discs). Now for some reason when I try to authorize my computer to access those purchases it's saying that my account does not exist. I even tried the Forgot My Password, but it says that "The Apple ID specified does not exist." Why? I spent so much money on that music and I really don't want to lose it. Is there anything I can do, or am I screwed?
It may help to know that the email address I used was an old school email address and I transferred to another college and no longer have access to that email account. I have the best luck ever.

How does one authorize another computer to play previously purchased music?

My understanding is that we can share music on Itunes on up to five computers.
I woud appreciate if someone could share a document on how to authorize mulitple computer to a single account.
Thank you

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:

Hello bsmith1039,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use these steps to authorize your computer to play and downlad iTunes Store purchases:
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.

I downloaded the new version of iTunes, and now, I cannot get into the iTunes Store.

many thanks.
I am in my iTunes application and when I press the link to connect to the iTunes Store, it starts churning, and churning, but never connects. It has churned for hours and when I finally click the "X" to close it, I get error code 11222.
I'd try the following document:

Tigon's already got you covered here. But I'll chime in with some English localisation advice.

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account i don't have and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again.

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account (10 years) I don't have anymore and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again? I tried to sign in to hotmail again and it says i don't have an account, but when I try to create a new one with the same name, it says one already exists.
When I try to recover the password from Apple, it of course wants to send an email to the account I can't get into, and when I try to do the security questions, it says my DOB is incorrect. How can that be wrong?! I am pretty sure I know my exact birthdate. Now I can't listen to a bunch of my music.

Download it from exactly the same place you downloaded it previously. If you purchased it from Adobe, you link is still available. If you don't have the email confirmation of your purchase, then log into Adobe.com and go to your account page to look at your Orders.
