Can't authorize music because my account is Canadian!!!

Okay you Yanks! I'm sending an iceberg of mass destruction across your border unless you change your stupid "Authorization" policy.
I bought, of all things, Paul Simon's "An American Tune" off your stupid lousy Itunes music store and have played it happily ever since. Now I've decided to copy my stupid lousy music to another stupid lousy Macintosh computer which sits right next to the stupid lousy Mac on my desktop. When I tried to play that song again, it refused, saying it had to be "authorized". Well, I tried to authorize it and I got this message: "Your account is ONLY valid for the Canadian Itunes store" and that was that.
Well it's okay if I can't play your stupid lousy American songs, but will you please give me back the ten million Canadian songs I've bought from your stupid lousy store!!

Stu,
Please get off your high horse. We're not all "Yanks" here. As a Canadian, I am bit embarrassed at your attitude, you sound almost... well... American! (Kidding!!)
To solve your problem, first see if it makes a difference if you log into the Canadian iTMS (just browse) before trying to authorize.
If that doesn't work, then you'll probably need to contact the iTMS customer service through the form on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/authorization/
They'll sort this out for you.
(Edited to add: are you sure you're using the same account to authorize the song as the account used to buy the song?)

    You cannot. iTunes purchases remain on the iTunes account they were purchased with.
    My IPhone 5 wont play my songs that were purches from my old apple id account
    So just upload them from iTunes.
    You have mulitple AppleIDs?
    Why?

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

    Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

    Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
    But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • Itunes can't find music with two accounts on one compu ter

    Hello,
    My wife has the Ipod but we both want access to the main/master music library. I have the library in a shared folder which both accounts and read/write to. Now, if I add the Music folder on her account and sync the Ipod, everything is good. If I login and open itunes (the preferences have been changed to the same music folder) I get the dreaded "!".... After reading some of the help and support topics, I don't know why I can't play music from my account even though Itunes knows where the music is.

    Nevermind, I found the answer after a little digging.

  • Can't purchase music because it keeps telling me to verify ID, but then says it is verified already

    Try deauthorising the computer then authorising it again (click on Store at the top of the window then Deauthorise).

  • Can't play songs due to old Apple ID / Can't authorize music

    I have this really ANNOYING problem where, since I went and got a .mac account and have a new Apple ID, I can't access some songs I bought a couple years ago with my former Apple ID. ITunes keeps asking me to authorize the content, brings up a window with my old ID, I enter the password and it seems to work -- but it doesn't. Every time I try to play the song, it brings the window back up... it's an endless loops and I can't access the songs!
    What is the answer, Apple? Can you not correlate older and newer Apple IDs? Why can't I authorize the music with the old ID if I remember the password? Because the account no longer exists? If that's the case, my music is literally being held hostage without any known recourse. Please advise

    kidsbesides74 I am with you there man, I know I sound like the usual Mac poster, but yes I have been a Mac head forever and have had every iPod/iTunes since the first, but I am STUCK, I have tried all these suggestions, but I can not get the bulk of my iTunes collection, ( 2000 of over 4000) songs to play because of the same problem, It just says that this Apple ID does not exist even though I can see it right there in the >Get Info for each of these songs. I will have to call Apple directly in the morning, I just hope they don't do that thing where they say that I must be doing something wrong. Is there a limit of two Apple ID's , I now have two Apple ID's here at the house and a third at the office could that be the problem ? if so, how do I get the songs I paid for folded into my other account?

  • Can't authorize music ...

    just replaced the hard drive in my old quicksilver G4 which is running 10.3.9 and itunes 4.2. was unable to rescue everything from my old drive. problem is after restoring the music from my itunes library that i was able to salvage on the new drive, itunes tells me "this computer is not authorized to play "this song". would you like to authorize it. i enter my password and hit authorize". unfortunately it doesn't authorize. it only tells me to update to the latest version of itunes (9.0 which can't run on my OS). this is disturbing as this represents a couple hundred dollars of music. any ideas how i can get this music to play. after, it's the same computer ...

  • How can i move music from one account to another

    I have 4 different accounts in Itunes and i wish to move all the music into one account
    help please !!!!

    You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

  • How Can i transfer music from one account to another.

    My very first account on itunes was using my fathers old work email. Well he moved jobs and then my next account let me still listen to the music i had purchased from the old account. Well then the second account got hacked and i had to make a new one and i got a new laptop. I have all the music in my library but it wont let me play it or sync it to my ipod. It keeps asking to authorize with the first account and i would be able to do this but the old password we used for it does not work and the birthday on the account is changed and i cannot access it at all. Is there anyway to make the music able to play and sync?

  • Setting up new macbook pro ,want to transfer music on existing Apple id and then set him up with a new one for future purchases ,can itunes play music from both accounts on one user account?

    Title says it all really,son has until now used our itunes account,in future will want to build up own but wants obviously to have access to past musuc/books etc.I was thinking authorise new macbook with existing apple id ,transfer music ,then set up new id for future,if he wants to play old music he will have to log in under old account.
    Also want to link to icloud but this will need to be the new id presumeably because you are not allowed to change the computer,does this mean it will only back up the stuff from new account?

    I have tried the method of authorizing my computer and then initiating transfer purchases method yet my purchases were not transfered. I was told Apple can put your purchases in a certain place for you to retrieve them in your I-tunes account.
    Is there any way you can help me with this problem?

  • Can't Authorize music on new computer

    Replaced a G4 with a MacBok Pro and can't seem to authorize some of my music.  Itunes asks for authorization under an older user name, but when I enter PW it doesn't like it.  When I tell it to send the PW to my email address of record I never get it.  Have even searched old email accounts just in case.  When I go the personal information route, it asks for my birthday.  When I put it my birthday it says that's not right!!  I KNOW when my birthday is.  I'm all out of options.  isn't there some live person I can talk to and prove who I am.  what do I do now??
    Itunes 11.1.3

    Found out how from an old discussion.  Here it is:
    This can be resolved through a phone call to Apple, provided you can pass the verification process:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll need to speak to someone in Account Security.

  • How can i get music to another account?

    I had another account with apple with was [email protected] but i had to give that one to my boyfriend cause i gave him my old my ipad and he didnt have a email account so i let him use that one which i had bought so ablums on that account and i had to have dell restart my whole comp just a few days ago and now i cant get the ablums i bought on the other account onto my new account with my iphone what can i do to get that fixed?

    Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that Apple ID.  There is no way to transfer media from one Apple ID to another.
    For what silly reason would anyone give away their Apple ID?  Just because the bf did not have one is no reason to give him your Apple ID.  Make him create his own.  Email addresses from Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and many others are free.

Is there a away I can transfer the songs she wants to her new account permanently? I don't need to share them or keep them on my account. Thank you

    Yes you can! But syncing your friend's phone with your computer will erase all her contents so beware!
