Can't authorize new computer to play my music or download them onto my ipod

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I seem to be having trouble authorizing my new computer to play my songs, and to also download them onto my ipod. It will download some but not all. The problem that I am having is: when I try to play a song, the authorization pops up and asks me to authorize using my old email address, and password. Well since I can't remember my old password and I no longer use my old email address, I can't authorize my new computer to play songs. So someone Please come to my rescue. I have tried everything.

How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different email address and computer

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.

I authorized my new computer to play old music but it doesn't work...

Got a new computer, imported my library, then was asked to authorize new computer to play a song. I did, and it said 'Success!' but when I click play, it brings up the dialog box again telling me to authorize the computer. When I enter my info in again, it says it's already authorized. So I press play and it brings up the dialog box again. What now?

Updated my bios, and I had to authorize my computer to play purchased music

did updating bios (in a dell inspiron 5150) change my Computer's identity or something? Thank goodness I had one spot left of computers to authorize.
Is there a way I can make it so this is (again) my primary machine?

I'm not sure what you mean by "primary machine"; the iTunes Music Store doesn't keep any sort of heirarchy of authorized systems. But this may help with the extra authorization:
One computer using multiple iTunes Music Store authorizations
And if you've reached five authorizations for your iTMS account, there will be a button in your iTunes Music Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your iTMS account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.

How to authorize my computer to play itunes music

I'm trying to authorize my music on my new laptop but it keeps on telling me that i have to authorize my computer im just wondering how i do this so i can listen to my music

Authorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.

In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

TS1389 What if I have done all the steps apple says, and I still can't authorize my computer to play certain purchased songs

I followed all the steps on the apple page, and just a few of the songs I just purchased cannot be authorized for some reason. It keeps prompting me, and I keep entering my password and it says this computer is already authorized. ARG!
Weirdly, when I look at the info of the songs, some list my name as "Purchased by", but the songs I can't play don't have a "Purchased By" line, but all songs show the correct "Account Name"

They were purchased by another Apple ID.
If you are not sure what other Apple IDs you may have, go to appleid.apple.com and click on the link that says "Find your Apple ID".
You are needing to authorize the Apple ID that those other songs were purchased under.

Error when trying to authorize new computer to play a song

Hello,
i just transferred all my songs from one computer to the next, as well as my husbands music. everytime we try to play a song that is associated with his apple id, i get the error "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error ocurred (-50). There was an error in the itunes stores. Please try again later"
Any ideas?

Not really, other than trying at a really inconvenient time when most people are asleep, such as 4AM USA Pacific when the Apple servers are probably not busy.
edit- tell me, are you able to go to the store and download a free single of the week?

Re authorizing computer to play purchased music?

SO, ive bought a few things from itunes, and then my computer was having problems so we backed everything up and then wiped it and re installed everything like it was new. When i put the music back on it said i had to authorize my computer to play the music ive purchased on my account, and i did but then it told me i had authorized 2 of the 5 computers im allowed to authorize. Is there any way i can fix that? cus really this is the same computer, so when i get a new one ill be on my third "authorization" and thats not quite right...

ohhh ok so i can only fix it once im up to my full 5 computers? alright well now ill rememeber to un authorize this one before i get rid of it. So in the case taht your computer just completely crashes before you can do antyhing you just have to wait till youre up to your full 5 authorizations to do anything about it?

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. What do I need to do to fix problem.

Using Windows 8 and can't authorize my computer to upload apps and play music on my new laptop. There is no "authorize computer" in a drop down menu as suggested in iTune store or its support page. What do I need to do to fix problem?

MY personal thinks to Radez29. Yes, it is now authorized. BUT, I have an obvious question and an obvious statement.
Question......why, in my many emails to/from Apple support, was this simple solution not given to me?
Statement.......Apple should consider "terminating" the present employees and hiring Radez29. He obviously knows a LOT more than the Apple support team.
AGAIN, my sincere thanks to Radez29 for this solution.

After having to get a new computer, I tunes repeatedly asks to authorize the computer to play/sync purchased music. However, ITunes is saying that the computer is already authorized. What do I do?

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:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
