Hacker purchased songs (under my account) that now appear in cloud

Several months ago, someone hacked into my iTunes account and purchased a lot of music. Now when I go to to download music onto my iPhone via Apple's cloud service, the songs purchased by the hacker show up as downloadable options. How can I get rid of these songs in the cloud? I don't want to scroll through hundreds of songs that I never authorized.

  • Purchased songs on an account that doesn't exist.

    I'm trying to transfer songs from iPod to iTunes but there's a few songs that aren't transferring over. When I click them to authorize the "ID" block is auto populated. I click on my "forgot password" it opens up a browser and takes me to a page where I can recover my password. However I receive a error "User ID isn't valid". How do I find out what account that song was purchased on? I thought the auto populate did that. If so how come a song was purchased from a user ID doesn't exist?

    If you changed your AppleID, it will still show the old one (as that is embedded in the song file) but you must change it to the new one when you enter it to authorize the computer.
    As an example....
    You create an account with the ID of [email protected]
    When you purchase a song, this will be embedded in the file so when you try to play it, it will autopopulate the ID field.
    Later you move and change the ID to [email protected]
    When you try to play a song, it will pop up with [email protected]
    You need to change it to [email protected] and it will work.
    The error you received is because the AppleID was changed so the old one does not exist, even though it shows up on the songs.
    If you go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/19/wo/E914DBZn8dX7zoi gjCkLpM/0.11.3.0.0.1
    you can find out the correct/current AppleID for the old songs.

  • My computer is messing up so I logged into my itunes account on my sisters computer and purchased songs under my account and when I tried syncing it said This ipod is synced with another library, do you want to erase and sync with this libary. What 2 do??

    I NEED HEEEEELP lol

    The ipod touch will sync with one comptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content.
    Redownload the song on your ipod.

  • How to authorize songs from ITunes account that no longer exists

    I have 26 songs in my iTunes library that I cannot play on my iMac and cannot synch with my 2nd gen Nano because they are not authorized for this computer. These files were purchased under an account that no longer exists, on a Windows computer I no longer own. I've long ago forgotten the password for that account and the e-mail account associated with that itunes account no longer exists.
    So, how do I authorize my current iMac (running OS X, iTunes 10) to play and synch these songs?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Hello coastiechris,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    About your only option at this point is to contact iTunes support on this one. If you cannot remember the password, there are no other options. Sorry.

  • I Tunes will not ley me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and from a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenevr I try to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. Any suggestions please?

    i Tunes will not let me play purchased songs from a computer that is broken, and which has a previous e-mail address. I am at my wits end, as whenever I try to play the songs I receive a message to authorise the computer I am using with my dead e-mail address. I end up in a mess, changing I-Ds, etc. I have paid an IT company to sort  things out, with some success, but still I keep getting thiese messages. Surely iTunes should be less complex than this. I am not brilliant with IT, but not at all stupid. Any suggestions please?

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • A large number of songs, my kids bought under an account that nobody knows the password to.  The account name I know, but the email address associated with it is no longer available.  How do I authorize the songs to play on this new computer.

    A large number of songs were bough under an itunes account that we no longer have the password for nor access to the old associated email address.  I know the account name but it no longer exists.  How do I now authorize these songs to play on this new computer.  I do know my current itunes account information.

    It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
    All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com

  • I just received a receipt for a purchased song on my account and no one in my family purchased it, what do i do

    I just received a receipt for a purchased song on my itunes account and no one in my family purchased this song, what should i do?

    Change your password, contact your credit card company and discuss reimbursement with them, and you can let itunes know that you may have been hacked by clicking "Support" at the top of this page and then click "Contact Us"

  • How to authorize songs under new account without buying them again?

    Okay, so for the past five years, I've been using my dad's account to buy iTunes. It sounds great in theory but now I'm in college and I live in a different city and I wanted to have my own account instead of using my dad's account for the rest of my life. Only it turns out that even if you've spent almost $1,000 in the iTunes store over the course of your life, Apple couldn't care less and they want you to buy all of those songs all over again.
    People have suggested authorizing my dad's account on my computer and that does solve the initial problem but at the same time, it makes having my own account kind of moot. I've tried downloading the songs to a disc and reimporting them with no luck, it still wants authorization. But the point is, I want my own account where the songs only need my authorization, not my dad's authorization which was the whole point in the first place. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or will I have to keep using my dad's account until I'm old? Or will I have to buy over 1,000 songs all over again?

    But can I change the ID itself? Like right now it's (this is just an example) [email protected] but could I change it to [email protected]
    Yes. Go here -> https://myinfo.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyInfo
    Your Apple ID does not have to be an email address either.
    Note that the previously purchased songs will still show the old Apple ID as the account they were purchased on but you will use the new info to authorize them.
    Right click - get info on one of the purchases to see the AppleID it was purchased with. This cannot be changed because the info is embedded in the song file itself.

  • HT204088 I have purchases on my iTunes account that are not mine. Where could this be coming from?

    I keep getting charged for purchases that are not mine. I don't know where they are coming from and I checked my childrens accounts. Where could they be coming from?

    Hello there duxmania,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I have a couple of recommendations for you here. First for the purchases that you did not authorize, I would reach out to the iTunes store support directly.
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
    Find the email receipt for your purchase.
    Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
    When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
    Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
    From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
    Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.
    You may also want to change your Apple ID password.

  • Cannot listen or purchase songs under new layout of iTunes 9.0

    Under the new layout I cannot listen or purchase songs. Also the homepage is basically just blank with only the right column with top songs, albums showing. The bizarre thing is that all comes out fine with the pages that have kept the old layout such as iTunesU or some iMix (was even able to download a song). Any help to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem and saw this in a previous thread -
    1. restored system to yesterday (before I'd attempted the whole update fiasco)
    2. backup itunes library
    3. used revo uninstaller for a complete uninstall
    4. restart
    5. run clean install off new installer download (even though logged in as admin, I also used the right click "run as Admin" option for good measure)
    And voila upgrade
    Yes, it's a pain, but it did work. My best guess is that something was corrupted during the first failed update attempt, which resulted in an incomplete uninstall, thus screwing up the clean install. But that's just speculation...
    I want to do this with mine but don’t know how to “restore system to yesterday”? let me know if you find out how?

  • Old Account need access to move purchased songs to new account

    I am trying to authorize songs that were purchased on my old account onto my new laptop. The account is several years old and was not used and since the email address attached is no longer valid and cannot remember password to obtain songs purchased. Is there anyway to get account tranferred to new email account and authorize those songs purchased?

    I'm afraid you can't moved protected purchases between accounts. The account ID doesn't have to be a working email address for you to log in with it, but you will have to get the password reset.
    You do this at http://appleid.apple.com , but if there isn't a functioning address associated with the ID you will have to go through Support. Go to http://expresslane.apple.com - select 'iTunes' then 'iTunes Store', then 'Account Management' and then select 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Follow the instructions, which include contacting them if necessary.

  • How to re-add purchased songs from my account to another itunes?

    hey, I had my laptop stolen and I'm currently borrowing one until I get a new one. I've changed my password etc. for my itunes account so it can no longer be accessed on my stolen laptop. But I'm wondering if it's possible to re-add my purchased songs from my itunes account onto itunes?! if so, how many is it possible to do this on, as I will be getting a new laptop in about 4 weeks time. Sorry for the really long question! lol

    Fill out and submit this form to ask for a free redownload or purchase the content again, and when you get the new computer, right-click a song in iTunes, choose Get Info, find its location, copy all the purchased music to the new computer, delete it from the laptop, deauthorize it from the Store menu, and drag the copy on the new computer into the open iTunes window.

    Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I  need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
    You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
    Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet
