Can't get my computer to authorize, what do I do?

Since I down loaded 8 of I-tunes my computer will not play 69 of my purchased songs. It keeps popping up the screen to authorize, but with an old account name. I transfered those ages ago, to my new account, how do I get my i-tunes to accept my new account for all the old songs? I don't recall the pas word to the old account so that is hopless.

My MacBookPro has a white screen with a grey file folder in the center of the screen with a white question mark blinking in it. What does this mean? And how can I get my computer back up and running normal?

My computer restarted while my shuffle was installing and now I can't get my computer to register the connection. What do I do?

My computer restarted while it was installing the shuffle for the first time. Now I cannot get my computer to register the connection and I cannot put music on my shuffle. How can I get my computer to install the driver again and start using my shuffle?

Hey jessandmatt17,
If you cannot get your iPod Shuffle to show up in iTunes, check out the following articles depending if it shows up on your computer within Windows Explorer. With the iPod Shuffle plugged in check in Windows Explorer to see if it shows up as a removable device. They both will help no matter how the iPod Shuffle shows up.

Problems with songs I ordered when I had a different email account (now inactive), now I can't get my computer authorized to play those songs

I had ordered many songs using a different e-mail account, which is no longer active and I have no access to. When I try to play the songs, it states that the computer is not authorized to play them, then offers me the chance to log in on my old e-mail address to authorize the computer. However, my old password doesn't work anymore, and since I don't still have the old e-mail address active, I can't get a new one sent to me. When I try to do the security questions, my birthdate is not being accepted as correct, so I cannot access the account that way. How can I get my computer activated through this old e-mail address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you found your phone in the iTunes devices list and checked what you want to sync there.

I have a question. For the past week I have not been able to access my iTunes app it always kicks me out. I've turned it off and on and still nothing. I was wondering how can I get it to work or what should I do. Thank you

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You don't mention anything about the music files on your computer that were used to copy into iTunes. If you have moved those files to a different location on you PC you will get that error message from iTunes. This is because iTunes will look for the music files in the original location that they came from on your PC when they were copied. If this is the case you have to tell iTunes to look in the new location for the music files or move the music files back to the original location.

You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.

HT1420 How can I get a list of authorize computers under an Apple ID?

How can I get a list of authorize computers under an Apple ID?
How can I deauthorized a computers under an Apple ID if I do NOT have possession of that computer?
Thanks

It's not currently possible to see a list of authorised computers, but if you have 2 or more computers authorised then, as described on the page that you posted from, you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account, Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.
Deauthorising a computer doesn't remove any content from it, it just means that you won't be able to use iTunes downloads on it until you reauthorise it

The first thing that needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes. Getting started guide : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4053
The iPad manual also has a chapter on getting started - it can be downloaded from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad

Install it. Open it.
If you could give us some more detail about what you've done, what you are doing and what exactly happens when you do it I might be able to give a better answer.

The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
See if that makes a difference...

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck
