Having got windows 8 and another computer I now cannot play previous download music

Having downloaded music in the past, I now find I cannot access it since I upgraded my computer.
I get a message telling my computer is not recognised.

Authorize the computer. Store > Authorize Computer
Also, you are aware that simply installing iTunes does not cause media to magically appear on the computer, correct?

P.S -I have not taken any backup of those photos. So please suggest any software or any other method.

If those photos were part of the camera roll, they were part of the backup as well and you can restore from the latest backup you made on the old computer. After that transfer the photos to the new PC, follow this article: iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync again to the new one, which will erase the phone again.
You can also try to copy the backup folder from the old computer to the new one and see if the old backups get recognized, check this article to find the location on your PC:
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
If the photos were not taken with the phone, your data is gone, photos you sync from iTunes to the phone are not included in the backup.

ITunes said I have to "authorize" my new computer in order to play previously purchased music, how do I do that?

I have a new iMac, when I tried to play previously purchased music on iTunes I was told that I have to "authorize" the new computer, how do I do that?

Authorization
iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.
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.

HT201413 I do not have an apple product, but I do have Itunes on my computer, and it will not let me play my downloaded music-error message computer needs registered, and it is. Can you help me?

I have had iTunes on my computer, which is not an apple poducts for about 6 or 7yrs now, just recently it will not let me play the music I have downloaded. I get a error message stating this computer is not registered. So I put in the information to register it, and it tells me that this computer is already registered. But I still can't play my music, the error message just keeps popping up. Can anyone help me?

Check the information on the song, Right-Click -> Get Info.
In the fist pane, (Summary), you will see the AppleId (Account Name) that was used to buy the song.
Be sure to login to use this account to register this computer to play the song
What I often see, Is that people have many different AppleID, sometime not even knowing it, which is a big problem.

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:- ._DIN-bold, no file fi

I have Windows 7 and for some reason I cannot install Adobe Type Manager onto my Computer. I need ATM to install the DIN font but am having no luck what so ever. I can see the DIN font in my Dropbox but it is showing up like this:- ._DIN-bold, no file file extension. what am I doing wrong? is it Mac?

(1)    Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is not compatible with any version of Windows beyond Windows XP (32-bit, only). Attempting to install ATM on any newer version of Windows may actually disable Window's capability of rendering Type 1 and OpenType CFF fonts, requiring a reinstallation of Windows.
(2)    There is no need to use ATM to install any fonts under Windows.
(3)    The file name ._DIN-bold is indicative of a MacOS font. These fonts cannot be installed on Windows systems.

I just got an ipad and took video of my daughter playing volleyball. Now I can't get the video from the ipad to the computer. I have a dell. Help!

I just got an ipad and took video of my daughter playing volleyball. Now I can't download it onto my computer. I have a Dell. Please help!

the DCIM folder is just a folder called DCIM . Just like a camera would create, so does the iPad. Both your videos and your photos are located inside that folder.
In Windows Explorer: Computer\iPad's Name\Internal Storage\DCIM
Instead of Rick's iPhone it will have your iPad's name. whatever it may be.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

First of all does, the iPod power on okay?
Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
What about a different USB sync cable?
What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it? Does it charge at all? Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

I purchased a refurbished iPad and downloaded some videos via Wi-fi. Now I want to do a sync backup on my computer but it says it will erase my ipad because it is already synced to another computer. I guess the previous owner's computer. What can I do?

Hi, mtsak.
I would recommend transferring your purchases to your computer. After the transfer is complete your media should be in your iTunes library. If the indicator that your iPad will be erased appears, just sync the transferred media. Only media purchased via iTunes with your Apple ID will transfer. From there, you should be able to backup.

Also, if you ever are missing purchased iTunes media, you can download it again free of charge by following the steps in the article below.

If I buy creative cloud and save my work to a USB, and another computer only has creative suite, are they compatible?

I don't know which to buy, creative suite 6, or creative cloud, which seems to have more. but are they compatible with eachother?, if I save work to one and another computer only has the other, can it recognise the other program and I can still use both?

Those are the collective names for suites for several different software titles. Creative Cloud has about 29 different software titles.
File format incompatibility affects different software in different ways. Photoshop, Indesign may have issues but Dreamweaver will probably not.

How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading

Hi Suresh,
Thank you for your reply.
Devices should appear in the top right of iTunes, as seen in this image:
From:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Connect a device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12449
If you do not see your iOS device in this menu when you connect it to your computer, it may not be recognized by iTunes. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

Hopefully you have the library files on the drive too, or access to the original computer where the library still works. See Make a split library portable.
