Computer Authorization for Multiple Songs

I recently had to reformat my hard disk due to spyware problems, and of course then had to re-install all my software, including I-Tunes. I have purchased several hundred songs from I-tunes, and now each time I try to play one of them on my computer, I get the "not authorized on this computer" message. I can do the authorization sequence individually, but is there a way of doing it for all my I-tunes purchased songs simultaneously? Taking the time for individual authorizations does not thrill me.

hmmm.
did you deauthorise your PC prior to doing the HD format? if not, it's halfway-plausible that this might be a symptom of having multiple authorisations running on the same PC.
maybe let's try giving this a shot:
One computer using multiple iTunes Music Store authorizations
(i figure that it can do no harm ... but if anyone else has other suggestions, i'd go with them first.)

I need to deauthorize three computers I no longer own, but keep my computer authorization for my current computer and add a new laptop. Is there a way of doing this without having to unauthorize my current desktop which is my main music storage devic

I just purchased a new Win 8.1 laptop and want to authorize it for my iTunes library. I operate this library on a Win 7 desktop. I have three other Windows computers that I no longer own which were authorized under my iTunes account, but I can't unauthorized them because they are broken or sold. I want to have Computer Authorization for just my current desktop running Win 7 and my new laptop operating Win 8.1. How can I selectively unauthorize a computer if I no longer have it in my possession, and if I have to unauthorize all of my computers, how do I get my iTunes library of music back onto my current desktop system?

Deauthorizing the computer will not remove the content from your library. You deauthorize all, then authorize the ones you want. See this support document. Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support

How do I change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

How do I chnage the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

I don't think you can in iTunes.
Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.

Ability to Edit info for multiple Songs seems missing in iTunes 12

From a review of this forum, it appears that iTunes 12 no longer permits editing of certain fields for multiple songs.
Formerly, one could select any group of songs and, via using Get Info, edit virtually any field for all songs at the same time.
In iTunes 12 this ability seems missing for certain fields.
Am I missing something or is this highly useful feature now gone?
I can't seem to get a clear picture of this from current forum posts.
Thanks for any comments.

marked as solving problem.
did not mean to do that as use of 3rd party scripts should not be necessary for such a core function in itunes
apple need to restore that basic feature. I will submit a request to them directly.

S_WERKS is not a field; it's a set of fields. Use simple ABAP to select your plants and loop at the selection(s) to check...

Hi Boris Bagel,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are being repeatedly prompted by iTunes to authorize your computer with your Apple ID, then please follow the troubleshooting in the article below.

ITunes repeatedly prompts for computer authorization for only one song

I already tried apple recommended resolutions but unfortunately they were not my resolution. Only one song after purchasing lots of others cannot be played because it asks computer authorization. I'm using windows 7 and itunes is the most recent. Now no one in apple is replying to my email. Did anyone have the similar case like this and solved,, please suggest the solution!

I just solved by myself. I signed on to another computer's itunes and downloaded the song. It looks like no better solution out there. I hope anyone else who encountered the same problem - for the first time and frustrated badly like me - get help from this.

Do i have to manually authorize for every song in my itunes library?

I just transfered my itunes library (some purchased and some ripped from my cds) to my new macbook.
I tried to play a song and it told me I had to authorize the computer to play the song. I authorized it and a message came on to tell me that I had authorized 2 out of 5 computers. When I tired to play another song it gave me the same error message "this computer is not authorized." I had to go into the folder, find the artist, the album, and the song, then it had me type in my password again. A message popped up saying I had now authorized 3 out of 5 computers....
It's the same computer!!
Am I really going to have to go through each and every one of my over 1,800 songs and go through this process?
I'm also worried to keep going because it is going to tell me that I have authorized another computer even though it's the same machine.
Isn't there a way to authorize my entire library at once?

Ok, so I don't want anyone to mess up their itunes library on account of my advice, so I would recommend getting in person help from someone who knows what they are doing.... but for what it's worth, here's what the guy in the apple store did for me.
He erased all the content (music/ video) in my itunes program, NOT the music in my itunes folder. We checked a few times to make sure that all the music in my itunes folder was really there. He explained it to me like the itunes music folder is where my music collection lives, and the itunes program is just the catalogue that lets me organize it and pick what I want to play. Erasing the itunes program content did clear out all of my personal playlists so that's kind of a bummer, but I can create those over again.
Once he had cleared out the itunes program (the whole list was just blank) he went into the itunes folder and selected everything and then dragged it and dropped it into the blank itunes list. It took a LONG time to copy over, but everything seems to be working fine now.
Again, I would recommend going to see someone, because I know I would be ****** if I erased all of my music on accident trying to follow some novice's description.

How Do I put in the same image for multiple songs on iTunes

Hi,
I know if I click on the song on "info", I am able to change the album image. Is there a way for me to select multiple songs and do a bulk change with the same image?
Thanks.

Yes.
Select multiple songs, get info and paste the artwork.
Or select multiple songs and drag the artwork to the artwork window at the lower left of iTunes.

One player for multiple songs on webpage. How do I do it?

I have multiple songs listed on a webpage and I'm looking for a way to listen to them without opening a new page eveytime you click on a song. It doesn't have to be a fancy player interface.
Something that allows the viewer to continue reading the contents, of that same page, while listening to their song of choice.
Also, can someone suggest a way to present the songs for listening only, while disallowing the ability to download the actual file?
Thanks,
Keith

Replaced HD and now I can't get authorization for purchased songs

I've had to erase & install 2x in the last year and then about a month ago, my HD finally crashed and burned.
Today I tried to play a song I purchased prior to the crash (and backed up on a separate drive) and I'm being told the song is not authorized to play on this computer. When I punched in my ID and password, I get the same window with the following in red type: "Field name: null.java.lang.Exception"
I paid for the song and now I can't play it?

While I'm unsure of the error message, assuming your Apple ID info was correct when you entered it, it sounds to me like you might have hit the limit for the amount of computers which you can authorise a DRM protected (Non iTunes Plus) song for, as each erase & install most likely counted (at least to iTunes) as a new computer and authorisation.
Anyway, your best bet is probably to open iTunes, then on the Store menu, click View My Account, then after signing in, check the number of machines it says are authorised to play music used with this account, assuming that number is five, click the Deauthorize All button. Once that's done, try to play one of the your purchased tracks again, sign in, and hopefully your music should play.

Updating info for multiple songs at the same time?

Is there a way to highlight multiple songs and change info for the songs at the same time without having to do it for each individual song? Example: changing the album or the genre for a batch of songs?
Thanks.

Michael,
You can shift-click to make a continuous selection or command-shift to make a discontinuous selection.
Then choose Get Info from the file menu.

Delete computer authorization for adobe digital editions

I bought a new computer and therefore I should delete the authorization for my old one. How can I manage this?

Thank you for your quick reply. I already gave the computer away - therefore I think I have to wait until the authorizations run out.
If Adobe resets all authorizations what happens to the files I saved in ADE? Are they deleted then?

Patch Setup For Multiple Songs / Digitech GNX 4 (two questions)

Hello,
As per the title this is a two-question question.
1. A little bit of background: I play in a band and I've been using my laptop with MIDI controller since May. My current method is simple and a bit of a jury rig, but it works. We have a repertoire of about 80 songs for which I've created separate GarageBand files for each song containing each sound needed for a tune in a separate recording track. Of late, I've been needing a way to use two controllers to control two sounds and so I've just gotten Logic Studio and have been futzing with MainStage. My question is as follows:
It seems that theoretically I could make one Project file and literally load patches sorted by song for our entire repertoire, but it would cause my computer to be ridiculously slow since I only have 1GB RAM. Because I only have 1GB should I just make separate Project files for each song or is there a way I can load everything in one file without making the computer be slow? I do plan on upgrading the RAM to 4GB if this all works out.
2. I also have a Digitech GNX4. It has a USB port for computer recording and it's worked with Garage Band. Can I assume it will work with the guitar effects of MainStage? (The USB port is broken and since I haven't really needed it, I haven't had it repaired. If the GNX4 does work with MainStage, you can bet it's going to the repair center).
I've loaded some of the guitar effect presets that have like 20+ patches and it takes a long time to load which I'm guessing is tied to only having 1GB RAM.
Thanks for anyone's help.
+My Gear apart from laptop:+
+- M-Audio Keystation 88es+
+- M-Audio KeyStudio 49+
+- M-Audio Oxygen 49 (just bought, arriving tomorrow and will most likely be returning the KeyStudio if it works well)+
+- Digitech GNX4 guitar effects processor+

Right (as MIDI controller). I was speaking about that solely as able to use the amp modeling features of Main Stage.
My RAM should be arriving on Wednesday, upgrading from 1GB to 3GB
I have two MIDI controllers; M-Audio Keystation 88es and Oxygen 61.
My live situation is 95% keys (my various sounds split between the two controllers), and just running my guitar clean direct to amp for the few tunes when I use it (my guitar is a Rickenbacker 360-12). We're starting a few new songs where I'll have to use my six string so that's why I was curious if my GNX4 via USB can, again, use the amp modeling for those few songs. It's on it's way to the repair shop so it'll be a few weeks before I can test it.

How do I organize my itunes library so that album name only shows up once for multiple song?

When I view the songs in my itunes library, it appears that album names appear multiple times even though they are the same album. (that I may have added to my itunes library at different times).
For example: For U2 album War, there are multiple songs in my library which I downloaded or uploaded in my itunes album at different times. Now the album War under artist U2, appears multiple times. How do I organize and make songs that belong in the same album appear under the album once so when I choose the specific album, all the songs are available there so I can listen to it all or shuffle it within the album. I don't want single songs under the same album names. It is very irritating. Please help to organize my itunes library better, I have a large album and it would be much easier if the album names would appear once when I have multiple songs for that album. Thanks!

Each tune gets a file name - that is how iTunes works. iTunes is a data base manager.
In a PlayList a reference is created that will link to a specific tune.
You can take the tunes that you do not want listed under a particular album name and change the album name using 'Get Info' for that tune(s) from the iTunes window.
