Can't download all songs in purchased to 3rd gen nano

I'm trying to download newly purchased songs to a 3rd gen nano. I receive an error msg saying the song can't be downloaded as it's not authorized to be downloaded to this computer. I've never encountered this problem before. I restored the nano to it's orig settings...and now...I can't reload many of the songs I had on the nano.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Hey there,
Have you authorized the computer yet to play purchases from the iTunes store? If not, head to the Store drop down menu and choose "Authorize computer."
If it is, try de-authorizing your computer, logging out, logging back in, and re-authorizing.

  • I lost all my music files from I tunes on my PC.  How can i download the songs from my Ipod 3rd gen back onto I tunes in my PC?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • Can you Download all Songs from ITunes Match onto Computer without having to click every cloud

    I am preparing to cancel my iTunes match service as I have moved from Australia to the UK and want the UK iTunes store but I cannot transfer over untill ITunes Match is canceled and before I do this I want to put all cloud music onto my ITunes and wondered if there was a quick way to do this. I don't want to click on every cloud icon.
    iTunes is the PC version

    Go to Edit > Select All. This will select all the songs in your library. Then right-click and select "Download."

  • Computer died...can't download all songs to itunes-HELP!

    My laptop died and I am trying to uploade my music from my ipod to my new computer.  I have autherized the computer but itunes keeps telling me that my ipod is still attached to another library.  Also, having trouble with my new iphone.  It won't upload songs I've purchased to itunes and it won't download songs from my itunes music.  Help!

    I am having the same problem, "Error formatting disk iPod. Disk cannot be written to or copied from."
    The guy at the apple store said the iPod is totally fine, that it's my computer. Getting nowhere with my laptop manufacturer - he tells me to do to the apple store.
    I was told the best bet is to make sure my music files are backed up on my hard drive, then uninstall and then reinstall iTunes.

    I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • TS1424 I downloaded a song that stops at 1:04 and jumps to the next song, as if it's over.  This song was in the middle of several songs, but this is the only one that is incomplete.  Can I download this song again for free, or do I have to purchase again

  • HT1386 I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New song that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    I have a new Macbook pro. I downloaded all previous Itunes purchases and then sync my IPhone. The New songs that I purchased today appear on the IPhone however it will not play. How do I fix the issue with my IPhone?

    Hey Etti101,
    I'd start off your troubleshooting process by deleting and redownloading the songs:
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    via: Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • A few years ago I bought music from Itunes.  Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer.  Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it.  How can I download all the music I have purchased from

    Might have luck with that here >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

  • HT4539 How can I download the song that I purchased into the USB flash drive?

  • My husband's computer crashed and he hadn't backed up his ITunes library. How can we download all previously purchased music?

    My husbands computer crashed and we don't have a backup of our ITunes. How can we access and download all previous ITunes purchases?

    Depending upon which store you use you may be able to recover some of your past purchases. See HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
    Go the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. (This should reduce the risk of corrupt downloads.)
    For the future backup your library regularly with this User Tip.
    If you have an Apple device see: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
